Isn’t that basically what happens when you split an API out to the different methods and write a Lambda for each one?
My experience with microservice shops is you have one macromonolith with 50 people working on it (which has all the problems of a monolith and none of the benefits), 5 actual decent microservices with a team or individual that properly maintains them, and 100 random utility micro"services" that are like 3 lines of code, used by exactly one other service, and you need 40 loc and a network call to interact with them.
I'll take everyone has their own service any day of the week. At least when I need to interface with 12 different things I can have 12 different people to roast for not properly documenting their API. And tbh literally the only positive I can come up with for microservices is the ability to neatly fire one into the sun and rewrite it from scratch.
