There is a lot of talk about monoliths vs microservices lately.. I just want to throw into the ring that you can do both at the same time. easily. And noone is going to kill you for it either.
maybe we are getting caught up in sematics because its christmas, but "monorepo/monolith/microservices/etc" is -just- the way you organize your code.
Developing a montolith for years but now you have written a 15 line golang http api that converts pdfs to stardust and put it into on a dedicted server in your office? welp thats a microservice.
Did you write a 150 repo application that can not be deployed seperatly anyway? welp thats a monolith.
You can also build a microservice ecosystem without kubernetes on your local network. We have done it for years with virtual machines. Software defined networking just makes things more elegant.
So dont stop using microservices because its "hard" or start writing monoliths because its "easy", because none of that is true in the long run.
What is true is that you have a group of people trying to code for a common goal. The way you reach that goal together defines how you organize your code.
