A lot of people said that they like “how microservices separate concerns while monoliths entangle them”. Others argued that “monoliths can be separated just fine with modules”, to which someone responded “it’s really hard to keep modules separate”. But “don’t you have the same problem with federated microservices?” etc etc etc. As the discussion went on I realized that we all actually wanted the same thing out of our architecture, but we weren’t able to make that thing explicit.
