This is one of the reasons I’m in the erlang derived system of languages. You never have to use the distributed tools if you don’t want to but they’re really powerful and really elegant when you start to need them. This is only one part of the problem though because as someone stated below even though server systems have networking stacks they are not entirely designed around the concept of seamless computation over multiple nodes so you wind up with abstractions that solve the problem but do so fighting against some occasionally nasty gotchas that make it a lot harder than it needs to be. This is all to say I’m greatful for those who maintain things like erlang, elixir, kube, go etc. They’re somewhat fighting against the stream so we have an easier time when we do need to scale.
