Answers About Web App Architecture For Small Teams:

If you are planning on staying a small team (say, less than 3-5 engineers) for a few years, the friction you feel is going to be coming from some place different than communication and coordination between engineers.

When you’re starting out, and when you’re small, the speed at which you can make changes and improvements makes all the difference in the world. Having a bunch of separate services with interfaces and contracts just means that you have to make the same change in more places and have to do busywork to share code.
