I was highly commended for bringing up 6 new microservices a year ago during my performance review. Late during development I noticed that at least 2 of them were useless (they are essentially message routing gateways, I planned to "enrich" messages from inside, but ultimately never did). It was already done and I did not want to waste time to integrate those two services into the others so I left it as is and, well, my boss loved it.
