Why monolith better than microservices for new project? #microservices #monolith

Are you embarking on a new software project and contemplating whether to go for a monolithic architecture or dive straight into microservices? 🤔

In this video I tackle the age-old debate of Monolith vs. Microservices but with a specific focus: Why starting with a monolith might be the smarter move for your new project.

Starting with a microservices architecture for a new project comes with a set of challenges. You're likely still getting to grips with the domain knowledge, figuring out data structures, and grappling with ever-changing requirements. This can lead to lots of refactoring and delays if you commit to microservices too soon.

In contrast, starting with a monolith doesn't mean you can't plan for future scalability. I discuss how to build your monolith with microservice concepts in mind, including loosely-coupled boundaries, asynchronous communication via message brokers, and using different database schemas for bounded contexts.

As you gain more insights into the domain and the system matures, refactoring a well-architected monolith into microservices becomes much more straightforward, making it easier to scale when the time comes.
