> Maybe a monolithic flask app would have been a lot easier if less sexy. But where's the fun in that? Not to sound snarky, but the fun would be in being able to solve business problems without fighting against a complex system. Microservices can definitely make sense but if you need them and know you need them. If it's just for fun and it's not a hobby, and you're being paid to maintain someone else's system then it's definitely worth going with a simpler system.
