> If you have two independent services, why would you even think to build them as a monolith? Probably not a good idea to build your corp wiki software in the same monolith as your payroll system. I'm trying to understand the integration approach as well, but looking at the example of an eCommerce system provided: > There are usually fewer SCSs than microservices. A logical system such as an e-commerce shop might have 5 to 25 SCSs i.e. for billing, order processing etc. An e-commerce shop might have 100s of microservices. My guess is that in a monolith, you would have billing and order processing in the same monolith, whereas here they are separate systems.
