In practice, the choice of architecture should follow from team size, product maturity and real scaling needs — not from trends.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What microservices actually give you\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Microservices let you deploy and scale parts of the system independently. They shine when several teams develop different product areas and parts of the system have very different loads — for example a reporting module crunching millions of records next to a simple admin panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>The hidden costs\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Every service means a separate deployment, monitoring, logs, API versioning and handling network failures. Transactions spanning several services become hard, and debugging requires distributed tracing. For a team of a few people, this overhead can consume more time than building business features.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>A modular monolith as a sensible start\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>For most companies, the best starting point is a modular monolith: one application and one deployment, but with clearly separated modules that talk to each other through defined interfaces. Such a system is easy to maintain, cheap to host and quick to develop — without turning into a “big ball of mud”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>When to extract a service\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>a part of the system needs a different scale or technology (e.g. video processing, AI models),\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>a separate team develops that area on a different release cadence,\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>a failure of the module must not stop the rest of the system,\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>legal requirements demand data isolation.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>If module boundaries are well designed, extracting such a part into a separate service takes weeks rather than a full rewrite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What we focus on in our projects\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Whatever the architecture, we follow a few rules: every module owns its data model, communication happens through explicit contracts, and deployments are automated. This keeps the decision to split open for later — when it is driven by data rather than predictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Summary\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Microservices are a tool, not a goal. For a young product and a small team, a well-structured monolith that can be split gradually is usually the better fit.
