Funnily enough, microservices. In the macro economy you don't have to have such strict coordination with Microsoft, or OpenAI, or Google, or whomever you interface with. You just figure out how to make your solution work within the confines of the service they give you. Like it or not.
Microservices is exactly the same concept except in the micro economy of a single organization. Each team is like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, etc. You don't coordinate with them, you deal with what they give you. Like it or not.
I expect the earlier statement confused microservices with a multi-process application.
Yes, in practice you very well might end up there, but then you are not providing microservices and would not call it as such. But it remains that microservices is the solution. Fair to say that it is the solution like not eating too many calories is the solution to losing weight — as in it is not exactly fun to have to put yourself through it, and thus most with the problem will never try to fix it/give up — but the solution all the same.
Or even, someone leaves and you end up with a mess of maintaining multiple services that aren't coherently seperate at all, but have no time to refactor them together to make sense. That's been my experience.
