Srini, unfortunately, a completely isolated microservice that works independently is a myth. Services have to communicate with each other using any available mechanism.

Think about this: get the code of your monolith and refactor in such a way where its components don't interact with each other. It is simply not possible and does not make sense. Then instead of having in-memory method calls, adding a network layer and process isolation comprise microservices.
