What are the differences between the two, and which one makes more sense to choose for projects? How do factors like security, scalability, and ease of maintenance come into play? In your opinion, which one is a more future-proof investment?
Which is preferred: cloud-native or monolithic?

For a new project, I'd start with a **modular monolithic architecture** if the team is small and the product is still stabilizing. This avoids the early complexity of microservices—crucial for fast feedback loops. Later, you can migrate selectively to cloud-native solutions, like Kubernetes, once scaling needs or team size grow. My tip: Keep it simple at first, but plan early for clean separation (e.g., via internal APIs) to ease future transitions.
