I don't know if I agree. Deploying servers and calling out to services should be a core competency. I don't think it's as drastic as you make it out to be.

No ownership is a bigger problem than team size imo.

That said, no reason to do it just because it's trendy.

> calling out to services should be a core competency.

What’s the typical failure rate of a method call within a process of a language of your choice?

If it’s not Java2k it will be one or two orders of magnitude lower than any cross-process, host or provider RPC call you’re ever going to make.

At smaller scales, just not having to deal with all the bugs and cleanup work missed error handling brings - and then building proper error handling for all relevant cases - can make a huge difference.
