One Big App vs. Many Small APIs – Which Is Better?
Some companies build one giant system (monolith), while others split everything into tiny APIs (microservices). Which approach do you think is better? Why?
Discussion Prompts:
- What are the pros and cons of a monolithic architecture?
- When would microservices be the better choice?
- Can you think of real-world examples of each approach?
Example: "Netflix uses microservices so different teams can work independently and deploy faster. But for a small startup, a monolith might be simpler to build and maintain initially!"
