Well, I stand by what I said. And you are also correct, you can only separate them if they are really truly independent. Those two are correct at the same time.

Microservices does more than encapsulation and workspace segmentation. They also distribute data locality and coherence. If you have an organizational need to break something, but not on independent parts, it's better to use some abstraction that preserves the data properties.

(In other words, microservices are almost never the answer. There are plenty of ways to organize your code, default to those other ones. And on the few cases that microservices are the answer, rest assured that you won't fail to notice it.)
