Depending on what exactly it is that you're storing or processing, neither does data.

Think sensor data and the sensor is a vital signs monitor in a hospital. The service that reads its output and stores it glitches out due to some sort of misclick by a user. It distorts the fact that the patient has an arrhythmia. Or a service that reads off the medication dosages for a patient for a pharmacist is stuck on a single message.

I strongly doubt they're debating microservice vs monolith in that area.

Maybe you should try an example with cat photos.

Used to work for an EMR company. This is very much a real-world concern, I assure you.
