I'd say microservices. You go anywhere and they'll tell you "we are splitting our monolith into microservices"... A lot of the times it ending up a bunch of smaller monoliths.

Bunch of smaller monoliths is still far better (usually) than one huge monolith. At least you need to set some boundaries.

if its the same team building them as the original one it will end up been a bunch of huge monoliths(arrgh here we go again) that slow everything down and eventually team will come back to refactoring the original monolith. its very sad:)
