This always seemed strange to me. If your team can't be trusted not to make spaghetti in a monolith, what stops them from making distributed spaghetti in microservices? In theory the extra work of making an API call would give you smaller bowls of spaghetti. However, once you add some abstraction to making these calls it seems like developers are empowered to make the same mess. Except now it is slower and harder to debug.
