Yeah, something in between a monolith and microservices, and I'm going to name it: services architecture.

Hmmm... I think I can do better: Service Oriented Architecture... Yeah I like this name. SOA.

Are you telling me I just invented something that's 30 years old? Bollocks!

Can you articulate SOA without using buzzwords?

I assume it’s concepts like a dedicated TLS terminator, Single Sign on, centralised logging, etc?

programs communicating with remote programs.

People will try to quibble that all this is new stuff, but really it is just new names for old ideas.
