Some of these conflict:

> Encourage a complex dev setup: running a service mesh with a dozen services at a minimum.

...

> Build in-house versions of almost anything that's not a core competency.

So if you need functionality A, B, C ... H, what do you do? Do you build them all in-house or do you have 9 different services each providing the functionality required?

You build 9 different services in-house, obviously.

You don't need that functionality, you need Ruby on Rails and a cold shower.
