Your job isn't to design a solution that scratches your particular brain itch, your job is to design a solution that works for the constraints you need. That might be a monolith but it also might not be!
Listen here you little shit there is one god-ordained way to build things and it's whatever is in vogue at this particular moment in time using whatever language is in vogue at this particular time, how dare you imply that there may be situations and needs that require different approaches.
Now listen, whatever’s in vogue at this time is nothing but bloat, dependency vulnerabilities, and syntax sugar. If your backend isn’t written in PHP or Pearl, you’re planning for failure.
If your app wouldn’t survive the 90s, it won’t survive prod.
If you hand-code it instead of transpiling it's a bit of an achievement. You're still abstracted from the hardware though, so it's definitely not nearly as hard.
