The Monolith vs. Microservices Debate
While monoliths are simpler to start with, microservices offer the flexibility to scale individual components of your application independently.
Signs You Need Microservices
If your deployment cycles are slowing down, your database is becoming a bottleneck, or different teams are stepping on each other's toes, it might be time to consider a microservices approach.
Implementation Strategy
Don't try to rewrite everything at once. Use the "Strangler Fig" pattern to gradually replace parts of your monolith with microservices.
