Microservices architecture splits an application into small, independently deployable services \u2014 each one owning a single piece of business logic, like payments or notifications \u2014 instead of one large codebase. Services communicate over APIs or message queues rather than sharing a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A monolith is faster to build on day one but gets harder to change safely as a team and codebase grow \u2014 one bug can bring down the whole app, and every deploy touches everything. Microservices let teams ship and scale parts of a system independently, at the cost of more infrastructure to monitor and coordinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We draw service boundaries around actual business domains, not convenience, and we only recommend microservices when the project’s scale genuinely justifies the added complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
