Correct, the hierarchical breakdown of services is orthogonal to the scaling unit of code. If every node in the cluster could execute every function, there is no need to split things out.

When deployment and coordination become an issue, that is when _deployment_ needs to get split up. But given our current RPC mechanisms, deployment and invocation are over-coupled so we have to consciously make these decisions when they could be made by the runtime.
