I've spent a lot of time talking about all the benefits of microservices. So, if microservices are so terrific, shouldn't they be applied everywhere? The answer is definitely not. No architectural pattern is perfect for every situation. Believe it or not, greenfield application development should start with monolithic architecture. Keep in mind monoliths are not inherently bad. Microservices allow systems to scale beyond the point where monoliths are too big and complex to deploy frequently.
