A key feature of the systems that exhibit the spaghetti problem is that they are heterogeneous. The different systems are separate, because they serve distinct purposes and thus have entirely separate implementations. Their code is likely kept in separate repos and may even be written in different languages.
Don’t orchestrate when you can compose.
