You can have a modular monolith with multiple entrypoints that enable autoscaling of independent "deploys".

That’s always made sense to me in theory, but practically speaking a lot of logical units of service just don’t scale independently of your core service. Obviously this isn’t always true but I think it’s too easy to talk yourself into popping off new services and once you’ve built out the infrastructure for it and the incidental complexity is costly.
