I get the idea of "choreography over orchestration", but the example in the following paragraph about "ESB" looks like you're describing a choreography architecture and indicates the ESB is a bad pattern.

Did I get anything wrong here? Thanks.

I could probably clarify there a bit. Let me think about that.

An ESB used to orchestrate/control microservices is a bad pattern. There’s nothing inherently wrong with ESBs as a pattern.
