What are some examples of when to choose microservices over a monolithic approach?

• Large Teams: When multiple teams need to work independently on different parts of

the system.

• Scalability Needs: If certain parts of the application require more resources or

scaling than others.

• Frequent Releases: Microservices enable faster release cycles for specific features

or services.

• Resilience: When you need to isolate failures to prevent affecting the entire system.
• Technological Diversity: If different services have different technology needs (e.g.,

different databases or frameworks).

In contrast, monolithic architectures might be more suitable for smaller applications or when

development speed and simplicity are top priorities.
