In this case, the colleague who had talked to the customers told me, they wanted microservices, because they'd have different target systems which would need differing behavior in places.

So, I'm guessing, what they really needed is:

a configuration file,
maybe a plugin mechanism, and
a software engineer to look at it and tell them the behavior is actually quite similar.
