There’s also a product-related argument here as well. In order to start, most products require a lot of scaffolding—-modeling of business entities, general rw apis etc. These are well represented by the big “monolithic” frameworks like Rails or Django. There’s not a lot of value in developing a proprietary distributed paradigm for these. Having this core taken care of and flexible, then allows It’s devs to build more proprietary functionalities as distributed proprietary services. Building this core backbone for access to basic funtionalities, and then distributing the high-value technologies has been the recipe for many things I’ve built.
