Shipping around individual video frames between components is really an astonishingly bad idea.

Microservices seem to be a decent idea with a terrible name. The idea of running services that are small enough that they can be managed by a single team makes sense - it enables each team to deploy their own stuff.

But if you break things down further, where you need multiple "services" to perform a single task, and you have a single team managing multiple services - all you do is increase operational & computational overhead.
