Microservices and using Make to wrap their chosen build tooling - I love it! This is similar to what my team does with a set of about 20 computer vision and NLP web services, in an environment with fairly high web traffic (Alexa top 300 site), with a large and distributed team of engineers. In our case several parts also involve Docker & CI such that common Makefiles are used by all parties and all config is externalized to the build and/or runtime environment. It has worked extremely well for many years now.
