Actors - The Past and Future of Software Engineering

This part, to me, is still one of the most baffling of Juval's presentation during SDD 2018 in London. It opened my eyes to how thorough Juval does his homework and has been doing it since he saw the daylight. That makes him one of the thought leaders in our industry on the area of solving problems based on principles.

The actor model is probably the best paradigm for scalability and resiliency, but if we see an actor as a mini-service and try to mimic the company structure aren't we just minimizing the cost of the single service but maximizing the integration cost? From my experience the Actor model is really hard to reason about, especially when having state in the actors, and only worthwhile when we need that amount of scalability and resiliency.
