Now we write graphql adapters over dozens of microservices to get back the capability to express queries and lessen the burden of hardcoding every possible query for frontend. N+1 is just more fun at the party and with a bit of effort you can make basic queries depend on the health of almost every service in your infrastructure.

If you squint at it wrong, it looks like some kind of bizarre and inhumane jobs program.

Meanwhile, transactions remain forgotten lore. Simply not achievable at our current tech level.
