In theory, it works everywhere. In practice, for any sufficiently large project, teams can't (either in terms in possibility or ability) size down the running services so that the whole stack runs locally. And then starts the hunt for tradeoffs, with a million pitfalls. I have seen the pattern fail too often to be only optimistic on the approach. I now tend to favor ephemeral deployments with only one locally running service connected to a bunch of remote services.
