This is a good observation, thanks. Yes, some of these cloud-native patterns do become what is essentially a spaghetti flow pattern, even if not in the fragmented pieces of code directly.

Async-await in general has all the same pitfalls. In fact, async programming, being based on reifying program continuations, is a GOTO equivalent in a quite literal sense.

It's not just cloud, ROS uses this for robotics, for example.
