Answer from AI

Microservice architecture is not always justified. Here are some reasons when it is better not to use it:

  • Small or simple project. If the application is small and uncomplicated, microservices will add unnecessary complexity and overhead.

  • Lack of an experienced team. Microservices require good skills in DevOps, CI/CD, monitoring, and managing distributed systems.

  • High performance and low latency requirements. Calls between services over the network can add delays, which is critical for some applications.

  • Limited resources for support. Microservices require more effort for maintenance, deployment, and monitoring.

In such cases, it is better to use a monolith or a simpler architecture.
