I have no idea what you are trying to say, but my best guess is that you are referring to a case where one Django application is coordinating with 24 other services in some fashion?

Per fallingknife's definition, that's still a monolith. No different than a Django application coordinating with MySQL. If it is that you think 25 > 1 is somehow significant, throw in Stripe, GPT, etc. in addition to MySQL. He would still call that a monolith. It's all the same.

That would not be a monolith by my definition as I say that coordination removes software from being a monolith, but we've long moved past my definition. We're only here now to understand where fallingknife's definition allows for there to be anything other than monoliths.
