I was going to write that every function should be a service as sarcasm, then I realized that's exactly what this article is proposing. Now I'm not even sure how to make a more ridiculous proposal than this.

It's probably AI-supported slop.

Ah, you're right

Yeah, I had been willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt that this was all part of a big joke, until I saw that the rest of their blog postings are also just like this one.

Why would your whole function be 1 service? That is bad for scalability! Your code is bad and the function will fail 50% of the time half way through anyway. By splitting up the your function in different services, you can scale the first half without having to scale the second half.
