Answer from AI

It is not worth using microservice architecture if:

  • The project is small and a simple monolithic architecture covers all requirements.
  • The team is small, and the complexity of microservices will lead to unnecessary overhead for support.

Reasons:

  1. Complexity of development and support. Microservices require configuration of communication, monitoring, deployment, which increases time and resources.
  2. Redundancy for simple tasks. If the application does not scale significantly and does not require independent deployment of components, microservices complicate the architecture without significant benefits.

Example: a small internal service with limited functionality and a small team is better implemented as a monolith.
