No plumbing is required in modern architectures such these of SAP HANA, Starcounter, or Tarantool. When the application server and database are combined, the access control is arbitrary, databases talk whatever you want, no need to torn the code apart into stored procedures, backend and frontend code. Plus to this, lots of unnecessary moving parts are removed in such architectures, so that the whole thing runs on 2 servers instead of 20, while the code is simpler than ever. The referred article needs clarification. What it really addresses are the flaws of conventional software architectures. Fortunately, this critique does not generalize.
