The nice thing about microservices is that you don't need iron discipline to maintain modular boundaries, instead its just how things work. I like to analogize it to assembly vs structured programming languages, or C vs Java- you can write the same programs in either, you can write bugs in either, but there are whole classes of pitfalls that get erased by moving from one language to another.
