Key idea
Monolith: Early-stage startups, MVPs, small team sizes (<20 engineers) Microservices: Large engineering organizations with multiple autonomous teams
| Vector | Monolith | Microservices |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Single artifact deployment | Independent multi-service deployments |
| Data Storage | Single database shared across domains | Database-per-service pattern |
At a glance
Always start with a clean modular monolith unless organizational scale demands independent service ownership.
