Not necessarily, you can design erlang systems with more coupling than you'd expect in traditional microservices. Microservices mean that your codebase is segmented along business concern lines.

I would rather argue that microservices are best implemented when each service owns a bounded context in the lingo of domain-driven design. Business concerns might align with that, or they may not, depending on how technically complex (vs product complexity) the product is.

Yes, that is a better definition, but nonetheless you can design erlang systems with a single domain, or design erlang systems as a monolith, even if it has a billion actors running around underneath.
