There's certainly a spectrum, but you can have huge clusters of even the most monolithic monolith.
The real semantic fun begins when you have monolithic codebase/deployments that could do everything, but each instance gets assigned a specialized role it serves to its peers _
(I think I've seen someonevdescribing that approach somewhere). I'd consider that micro if there are more than a handful of "roles", perhaps with some qualifier, but it would hopefully be easy to agree than no description is entirely wrong.
I haven't, but if I had and if I was trying to place it in the conference circuit, I'd call it morphoservice.
(and the actual me who has never reached beyond consumer side in conferences sure hopes that conferences would resist unless a less ridiculous name was found)
