Summary
One of the most debated architectural decisions in software development: should you break your application into microservices? The answer, of course, is: it depends.
Key Points
- Microservices add operational complexity that many teams underestimate
- Monoliths are easier to develop, test, and deploy — especially early on
- Team size and organization structure matters (Conway’s Law)
- When you have genuine scaling or deployment independence needs, microservices shine
