Are organizations ever capable of enforcing coding standards even remotely close to that of what microservices _should_ provide? Because I have not seen it.

However this is muddied by the fact that I almost never see microservices, I see a lot of distributed monoliths tho.

For an org capable of adhering to standards. I've seen success in small teams. I've never seen it in a large org through, it's always a dumpster fire. Especially anything that grows really fast, culture is out the window to randomness, and it's a hodgepodge of understanding and methods that are all over the map.

I guess the birth of the term distributed monolith gives lie to the idea that the service boundaries can't be breached by devs. :)
