Anti-pattern in which a monolithic data model is extracted into separate services/servers connected by HTTP, leaving all access patterns identical. The result is worse than the original monolith: method calls become distributed-computing problems with more operational risk. Aaron Patterson's quip 'microservices are great for turning method calls into distributed computing problems' describes this anti-pattern, not real services. Garofolo left a company over such a system and describes it as a 'horrible time'.
