Also read as serverless and you will understand the hype. I think depending on the type of application I'm building I would use either approach. I also am a fan of having both approaches where sensible, but only if I'm already deploying to the cloud. If I'm on local hardware I don't care it can all be monolithic until something in my service requires more dedication.

Monoliths can be serverless, too. On Azure you can just shoot something off to an app service, for instance.

I dont consider app service serverless. Azure has Functions as their serverless offering. I consider App Service as a shared hosting platform.
