Microservices vs Monolithic vs Modular Architecture: Choosing the Right Approach

I am working on a project - AgriCore ERP (a robust and scalable Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system tailored for Agriculture Equipment Suppliers) and got caught up in the cycle of choosing the best architecture, tools, design practices, etc. I started my research and decided to share what I learned about architectures. There are more architectures, but let me share what I learnt about these three. When designing software applications, one of the most critical decisions is selecting the right architecture. The choice between Microservices, Monolithic, and Modular Architecture can significantly impact development speed, scalability, and maintainability. In this post, we will explore each architecture, their benefits, trade-offs, and when to use them.
