> very few people can correctly articulate requirements
The observation from Lean is that the faster you can build a prototype, the faster you can validate the real/unspoken/unclear requirements.
This applies for backends too. A lot of the “enterprise-y” patterns like BFFs, hexagonal, and so on, will make it really easy to compose new APIs from your building blocks. We don’t do this now because it’s too expensive to write all the boilerplate involved. But one BFF microservice per customer would be totally feasible for a sales engineer to vibe code, in the right architecture.
