Does separating code into folders make an application a set of microservices?
No. Microservices generally involve independently deployable services with network boundaries. Folders and internal modules improve code organization without changing the application's deployment architecture by themselves.

More FAQs in What factors determine whether an application should use a monolithic architecture?
Yes. A monolith describes how the main application is packaged, not a ban on external services. Email delivery, storage, and authentication may still use separate providers.
Evidence might include independent ownership, sustained delivery workload, or a runtime requirement that the main application cannot meet efficiently. Evaluate those needs against the operational cost of separation.
