> Fundamentally, I don't really see much difference between monoliths and microservices. In a monolith, you just call another function/class, but in microservices that function is a http call.

In J2EE that difference is a configurable technical detail. You have 1 service that calls another, and the protocol they use can be a normal function call, RMI, SOAP (or I think REST nowadays) depending on dynamic configuration.
