SOLID principles for distributed systems: how do they translate?

i've been thinking about how the SOLID principles, which are usually applied to object-oriented design within a single application, translate to the world of distributed systems and microservices. some seem to map pretty well. for instance, the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) feels analogous to defining clear service boundaries. the Open/Closed Principle (OCP) can be seen in designing backward-compatible APIs. but what about Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) and Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)? how do you apply those in a microservices context where you're dealing with network calls and different deployment lifecycles? does LSP relate to how services interact via contracts? and how does DIP manifest when you're injecting remote services rather than local abstractions? i'd love to hear some practical interpretations.
