lgtm. We can later do a follow up post with the graph of microservices and the compute of complexity.

Since this will be a public article, I would recommend making this section more generic to avoid exposing anything we don’t intend to share. For example:

We have decommissioned x% of the microservices supporting the Loadsmart Brokerage Business.
In terms of cost savings, we estimated a reduction of x% in cloud costs and x hours less of engineering work for maintenance. Considering the investment made, we expect a payback in less than x months.

It might be better to avoid using specific numbers or internal metrics, and instead keep the statements high-level. This helps maintain confidentiality while still communicating the overall impact.
