My question was rhetorical, to be honest :) point being that the only new thing, if any, with microservices is that they should be micro and you should have a lot of them.

People have been running >1 services for a long time. Sometimes calling it SOA and sometimes calling it nothing, just doing it because it made sense.

  just doing it because it made sense.

This ^^. Call it what you like - if it works, it works
