Microservices vs Monolith: What We Recommend and When

Microservices aren’t a badge of honor. Monoliths aren’t outdated by default. Here’s how DeltaCode decides for real projects.

Microservices vs Monolith: What We Recommend and When

Start simple when you can

For many MVPs and focused products—like a trades e-commerce platform—a well-structured monolith (Angular + Spring Boot + MySQL) is faster, cheaper, and easier to operate.

Go distributed when scale demands it

Multi-tenant SaaS, high throughput, independent team ownership, or strict domain boundaries (for example enterprise accounting platforms) benefit from microservices, hexagonal design, and event-driven flows.

The trap

Distributed systems without DevOps maturity become distributed monoliths: harder to debug, slower to ship. We only split services when the operational cost is justified.
