I don't understand. The VPN connection is decrypted at some point when it goes to public internet, and that server is in control of the VPN provider (or so I've thought). They could log the requests at that point. Even if you only

"That may be the case, but that’s an easily solvable problem." So, how is that problem solved? I can't see what VPN companies are really doing inside their stack. They might very well be logging everything and I have no way t

In my own projects you can start up every microservice with a single command / script. Yes, having sufficient tooling for microservices does consume resources.

If the alternative to microservices is a monolith, and you can run the monolith locally, then logically microservices can also be run locally. If it's difficult to run all the microservices locally then that's just a sign of weak
