While this satisfies some idle curiosity, I don't really get what justifies spending the resources in posting such stuff. Is this a recruitment tactic somehow for such companies?

I have a hunch that's part of it. I also think they're trying to show that they're as technically competent as Chik-fil-A, who has been doing this for a while now.

That's all it is. These EDA transformation journey blog posts are de rigeur for any company looking to have its engineering culture perceived in a modern light, at least in the eyes of a junior-to-intermediate developer.

why does everything have to be microservice oriented and what's wrong with a simple monlithic application that runs the whole thing? also, when are those ice cream machines going to get fixed?

To your point, Shopify's monolith was handling 1.27M requests/sec on Black Friday: https://twitter.com/ShopifyEng/status/1597983918900510720

Well, I mean really most of the micro service architectures are just monoliths with network calls between the components.
