We need to decide on the overall architecture for the application. The main options are a modular monolith and a microservices architecture.
We will implement the application as a modular monolith.
- Simplified deployment and operations
- Easier development and testing
- Lower initial complexity
- Better performance for inter-module communication
- Easier refactoring and code sharing
- Limited independent scalability
- Technology lock-in
- Potential for decreased development velocity in the long term
- Future migration path to microservices if needed
- Team organization flexibility
