I’m trying to understand how this is different than a concept I learned in computer science in the late 80s/early 90s called RPCs (remote procedure calls). My senior project in college used these. Yes I’m old and this was 35 years ago.

It's basically the same concept, just implemented with a k8s cluster so you have scale-to-zero capabilities I guess

Microservice architectures are ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow, implementations of Erlang, implemented by people who think that "actor model" has something to do with Hollywood.
