I think microservices kind of break that wall with a herd of stampeding elephants being chased by even angrier bees. If you're still using one database in 2025, even if you wouldn't touch microservices with a ten foot pole, then you've got some problems. OLAP, KV, cache heirarchies, you aren't running a singular database, except maybe for a standalone app.
