From the same base tables. And yes, it is very incompatible with the definition of a microservice and causes plenty of horrible issues. I didn't say it was good architecture. It's a remnant of when we were a startup in "move fast break things" mode (we have since been acquired) and as an org paying down tech debt has never been a priority so we're left with a lot of bad decisions that we have to live with (to the point where it's a miracle when we actually ship any meaningful features...)
