I think the point is that all of that adds complexity that is often unnecessary - a premature optimization if you will. It's like a hammer, and everything looks like a nail to a lot of people.

GP isn’t oppositional, they listed runtime constructs that all run off a single monolith. The point being you don’t need so-called microservices for flexibility in the production environment.

As the sibling poster said, you probably misunderstood my point.

I'm talking about how monoliths can also fix such problems when they happen.
