How microservices are born

A four-panel comic. The first one is a developer holding a thing and saying "This lives in one of your services, where should I put it?" then the payments team saying "That's not our domain, that's a product concern", then the product team saying "That's not us, that's a payments problem", and finally the developer putting the thing in a new service saying "I guess this goes here then". The text at the end says "And that is how microservices are born".

Based on a true story
