This sounds just wrong.

Why would you use micro service? You are not having teams.

Btw. Your data structure/ bytes per row is missing

Having teams is exactly the wrong reason to have micro services, having endpoints with different traffic patterns and resource/scaling constraints is exactly the correct reason.

Do you really need to jump to micro services when you need scaling? You can also start multiple instances of monoliths/bigger services.

If all the endpoints share the same resource constraints and traffic patterns, sure you can just scale up the monolith.

Even otherwise, yes, you sure still can, just like you can write the service in bash if that’s how you want to spend money.
