Yea, sorry, that was worded a little poorly. My point was just from a monolith you are smarter to add caching first before breaking it up anyway. So monolith will get you to point A on the map, adding caching will usually get your further to say point B, then finally you'll need to break the application apart to scale further. That was my point.
Nothing evil about a monolith when you are starting out. I'd argue it is the correct way to start out in fact.
