Do you really need to jump to micro services when you need scaling? You can also start multiple instances of monoliths/bigger services.

If all the endpoints share the same resource constraints and traffic patterns, sure you can just scale up the monolith.

Even otherwise, yes, you sure still can, just like you can write the service in bash if that’s how you want to spend money.
