Can you explain where this is relevant to buffering issues?

Also, you are very wrong regarding failure modes. The larger the service, the more failure modes it has. Moreover, in monoliths if a failure mode can take down/degrade the whole service, all other features are taken down/degraded. Is having a single failure mode that brings down the whole service what you call fewer points of failure?

I can't, since I don't know Netflix's architecture - I was responding to "I'd love to hear exactly how a monolith application is guaranteed to perform better, with details."
