You Don’t Need Microservices (Yet): A Reality Check for Devs
The article discusses the common misconception that microservices are necessary for all development teams. It argues that microservices are beneficial only at scale and that smaller teams may be better served by a well-structured monolith.

- ▪For smaller teams or projects that haven't reached scaling challenges, a well-structured monolith is often more efficient.
- ▪Premature decomposition into microservices can be one of the most costly architectural mistakes a team can make.
