In principal yes, they look like any modern web application but reality is different.

For example stateless web component is a primary requirement to allow servers to fail as well as auto scale. Most enterprise applications I have seen falls flat on face.

I have seen enough cases in which customer endlessly debates why his snowflake of a web server went down and expects a RCA with god knows what details.
