No, they're just services - a service per team.

Microservices usually overdoing it, when you have multiple microservices per team, and sometimes even per developer.

Also, microservices sometimes implemented incorrectly, where they're still communicate via shared databases, instead of encapsulating them and exposing them via service APIs only.

This Memo was born because of the real business need, while many modern microservices deployments are the result of cargo-culting GAFAMs/FANGs.

Indeed, hence "the network is the computer" footnote that used to be written on Sun manuals.

Many cargo cult web services of today can be written in Sun RPC APIs.

But yeah it is C and its IDL isn't as cool as gRPC proto files.
