Hot take: Your early-stage startup does not need microservices. 🛑
Too many teams adopt complex distributed architectures too early because 'that's what big tech does.' What they actually get is massive network latency, deployment nightmares, and bloated cloud bills.
This is why I build and advocate for Modular Monoliths (Moduliths). You keep a clean, single, type-safe codebase with strict internal module boundaries. You get blazing-fast deploys, zero internal network overhead, and the absolute freedom to extract a service later only when scale demands it.
Pragmatic engineering beats resume-driven development every single time.
