42% of organizations are consolidating microservices into larger deployable units or modular monoliths.
Service mesh adoption reportedly fell from 18% to 8% in two years.
Micro-services make a lot of sense.
But architecture should match the stage of the company. A clean monolith or modular monolith can mean:
✅ Faster shipping
✅ Easier debugging
✅ Smaller engineering overhead
✅ Faster product iteration
Less time managing infrastructure.
More time improving the product.
