I don't quite understand the mentioning of node at the start of the article as a cause of this. You can write a monolith in node just as well as you can write a web of microservices. That said I agree with the sentiment of this article, it's very frustrating to deal with in any company. Especially when these microservices aren't versioned under the same repo and/or are hosted at different providers causing unnecessary latency.
