It's hard to correlate the points made in this post with eventual consistency. Microservice or any service's runtime distribution and deployment model has impacts on consistency but that doesn't imply that systems will automatically become eventually consistent. Nothing prevents service instance clustering and co-location on the same hardware machine in different runtime units like containers or vm's talking to a db running on a single machine. It's a function of the scale and maturity of the system. Consistency itself is a function of state management within a system and more importantly, a non-trivial system typically has quite a few data stores and access patterns with their respective consistency requirements. Saying that running microservices implies eventual consistency is painting with very broad brush strokes.
