Microservices are just SUN RPC, CORBA, DCOM, EJBs, .NET Remoting, SOA, WCF, rebranded for a newer generation, which apparently hasn't learnt much about them.

Hence now the modular monolith hype, as they rediscover programming languages have modules, and placing a network in the middle doesn't sort out spaghetti dependencies!

Its applicable if the services have different teams and different infra requirements. Its hard to create a ton of sphaghetti when integration is atleast a network hop away. There's some friction to being dependent on too much stuff.

Tell me you never wrote a call graph across distributed services architecture, without telling me.

At least now Open Telemetry based tools can render those in beautiful ways.
