Compare and contrast the microservices architecture with the monolithic architecture. Discuss the pros and cons of each in terms of development, deployment, scalability, and complexity. For a new, small-scale e-commerce startup, which architecture would you recommend and why?

A colossal, ancient alien monolith covered in glowing, intricate glyphs, standing in the middle of a desolate desert on a foreign planet. Two suns set on the horizon, casting long, dramatic shadows. The monolith seems to hum with power. A tiny, lone astronaut stands at its base, looking up in awe. Sci-fi, mysterious, epic scale, cinematic lighting.
