How does your CI/CD strategy differ between monoliths and microservices?
WHAT IT TESTS: Grasp of release coupling and blast radius. ANSWER OUTLINE: Contrast monolith unified builds with microservice independent deploys, side-by-side versions, and service gates. RED FLAG: Shared pipeline for all services or no monolith rollback.
WHAT IT TESTS: Your ability to compare centralized versus decentralized CI/CD and identify how pipeline coupling directly affects release velocity, blast radius, and team autonomy. ANSWER OUTLINE: For monoliths, discuss unified artifacts, integration-test bottlenecks, and coordinated release trains; for microservices, cover independent team ownership, signed container images, SBOM attestations, side-by-side deployments, and the operational risk of pipeline sprawl.
