Why did you move away from monolith?

Moving away from a monolith is associated with the need to increase flexibility, scalability, and development speed.

Main reasons:

• Support complexity: A monolithic application becomes bulky over time, and changes in one part can affect others.
• Scalability: It is difficult to scale individual components in a monolith; you have to scale the entire application.
• Team independence: Microservices allow different teams to work autonomously on separate services.
• Technological flexibility: Different technologies and databases can be used for different services.
• Rapid deployment: Updating one service does not require deploying the entire application.

For example, in an online store, separate services can be allocated for the product catalog, cart, payment, and delivery, which simplifies the development and maintenance of each.
