Monoliths remain the right starting point for most new products — simpler to develop, test, and deploy when a team and codebase are still small. Microservices earn their complexity when a system has genuinely distinct scaling needs across components, or when multiple teams need to work independently without stepping on each other.
The common mistake is adopting microservices prematurely, before the organizational or technical need genuinely justifies the added operational complexity of distributed systems.
