I have the impression that the microservice architecture lowers the... 'activation energy', if you will, of building components that operate in a different paradigm. It's intensely pursuing the idea that a subservice is only its interfaces. And behind each of those curtains, it would be practical to construct something really weird. Of course, it's cheaper and intellectually less stressing to just pop up a container, so that's what everyone does... so far. I mean, you need a TCP/IP stack somewhere. Perhaps a microservice component embodied entirely on a GPU is an easily accessible example, or on one of those fancy ML-specific processors in the bowels of Google..
