Do you prefer to develop and maintain large monolithic applications or distributed microservice architectures?

The choice between monolithic and microservices architecture depends on the project requirements and the team.

Monolithic applications are easier to develop and deploy in the initial stages, and they are well-suited for small teams and projects with limited scale.

Microservices provide better scalability, component independence, and flexibility in using different technologies, but require more complex management, orchestration, and monitoring.

Personally, I prefer an approach that best fits the current tasks: for small projects — monolith, for large and rapidly growing ones — microservices.
