I don’t think this is accurate. I’ve worked at companies that did “service-oriented architecture” long before the rise of the term “microservice” and it was clearly recognized that different “services” shouldn’t be so coupled together you can’t redeploy them separately.

- scaryclam 6y agoYes, you're right. A system that requires services to be deployed together is just a distributed monolith.
- cturner 6y agoThis thread considered an issue: whether services and microservices are equivalent concepts. They are not. There is a quality that is held by Microservices, yet which is not universally held by Services. You have observed that other services also have that quality. Indeed. Nowhere did I say, "all services with decoupled deployment are microservices".
- cturner 6y agoRevisit. I can where brown9 is coming from. I could have avoided leaving that interpretation open by writing, "here is an example of a quality that is held by all X, yet not by all Y".
