This outcome could be considered a feature of microservices: by abstracting the functionality into more tightly-contained units, failures are more isolated.

Sounds like the organization needs to do other things to keep people from getting siloed, though that gets increasingly difficult at scale. Well-defined SLAs (along with monitoring and reporting of those SLAs) are also necessary so that microservice failures can be understood in the right context.

This YC talk from Amazon's CTO on how they grew to a microservice model and team structure was really interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adtuntQ8rh4
