Don’t Fall Into the ‘Microservices Are Cool’ Trap and Know When to Stick to Monolith Instead | HackerNoon
Monoliths and microservices are two basic approaches to building applications. Some people consider them to be legacy and modern, respectively. But this is not quite right. Choosing between them is a very complex question, with both having their pros and cons. Most new applications do not need to be microservices from the very beginning. It is faster, easier, and cheaper to start as a monolith and switch to microservices later if you find it beneficial.
