Beautiful architecture. Startups and companies like Netflix should learn from this instead of cargo culting microservices.

What? Do you have some reason to think Netflix's architecture is deficient?

Overly complicated with microservices. Can be made 10x simpler.

Sometimes simplicity is not the best goal.

Redundancy, scalability, decoupling, resilience, best possible handling of errors, cost optimization, etc. may be more important at the scale Netflix operates at.
