I made a framework along those lines for work which we used for many years to mediate ~1000 namespaced commands across dozens of repos. Whether it ran distributed or bundled (I called it "mega-service" mode) was completely controlled by config. We mostly used ZMQ for inter-service messaging, but I had implemented http, redis pub/sub, grpc, etc at various times to prove the concept.

Interestingly, we're pursuing a monorepo & multi-monolith setup for the next version of our platform. So lib-courier is no longer necessary to stitch it all together. It was fun while it lasted though. Once you understood the routing algo & code patterns, lots of stuff "just worked".
