ah, the dreaded distributed monolith. I hope this is looked at as a terrible anti-pattern someday. "But we can deploy services independently" they say, "we can scale these services independently too!", "We can finally scale our development team!" Years later: no services are scaled independently. Deployments are a mess. Most deploys end up having to be lock-stop deploys. Issues are incredibly hard to track down because of complex network interactions. For some reason 7 of them are written in Rust and only 1 guy knows Rust. Stack traces become almost worthless. You find yourself having to piece together log files across tons of services to track down issues. You have hundreds of Jenkins jobs for deploying services.
