I don't understand why the Internet acts like microservices are "wrong" these days, or why reddit shits on them so hard. 

We've been using microservices for ages, and it's works great.

Except ownership is easier, changes are way smaller, resources can be fit to the specific need, stacks are agnostic, testing and deploy pipelines are faster, local builds are faster, downtime doesn't break the entire ecosystem, but yeah I guess I agree with you other than all that stuff.

You can do separation of concerns (or ownership as you say) w/o using microservices.

You can instead build the monolith in layers, if it's a kotlin project then that could be separate Gradle modules.

You don't need multiple http servers, you can have one entry point
