my main reasons to split are the following:

- security - minimize privilege escalation and access to infrastructure

- scalability - different workloads need different metrics to scale(CPU bounds vs connection bound)

- dependencies - why burden devs with all dependencies especially some that are more difficult to setup dev environments for

- service per backend dbs/etc (overlaps with the above)

- domain - can place domain specific skills on a team

Security? Really? Too many moving parts, too many holes and places to exploit... fixing the same sec problem is 30 different places does t sound like great security.

More like giving the web facing application full access to the payment database vs having a separate internal service with a very limited API. A problem with the frontend does not always immediately compromise the database.
