I think people really exaggerated with the microservices trend. Today, I recommend to keep code in the same executable unless there is a good reason not to. Good reasons include: - Stateful vs stateless: databases and message queues should be your first (hopefully off-the-shelf) "microservices". - Different lifecycles: API serving vs background task - Different security needs: Frontoffice vs Backoffice code - Different teams: But make sure to introduce a clear customer-vendor relationship.
