On “Should we be trying to make microservices reusable?”
Never ever generalize before you need to.
If you’re already doing microservices your goal should be to make them replaceable/easily rewritable and self contained, not generalizable.
Essentially being able to throw them away after a quick rewrite is the ideal state.
Now a template to scaffold services quickly might be useful to speed up development.
