Not sure what is so hard about a client/server roundtrip?

The server side is being broken up into micro-services which makes all server a client/server roundtrip as well. Your DB was always running seperately making it a client/server roundtrip, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what aspect of client/server is overly complex? And why is websocket (a client/server roundtrip mechanism) any easier?

The backend is likely all in the same building with a reliable and high-bandwith link between servers.

You can't compare that to a round-trip from the client to the backend.
