When should I choose the Monolith variant for Clay?

The Monolith variant is best for MVPs, small teams of 1-5 developers, and applications with fewer than 10,000 daily active users where speed to market is the primary goal.

Does this skill provide code examples for different architectures?

Yes, it includes specific TypeScript code patterns for direct integration, service-layer abstraction with Redis caching, and event-driven microservices using gRPC.

What is the primary benefit of the Service Layer variant?

It provides a balance of complexity and performance, introducing separation of concerns, background job processing, and circuit breakers to handle 10K-100K daily active users.

Can I migrate between these architectures later?

Absolutely. The skill includes a documented migration path to help you transition from a Monolith to a Service Layer or Microservice as your application and team grow.
