I’m working through the design of a multi-service application that combines different on-demand services in one place, and I’m finding it harder than expected to decide what to prioritize early.

Some services need real-time updates, others are more request-based, and a few share only basic components like user accounts and payments. For those who’ve built similar systems, what usually becomes the hardest part as more services are added?

Are there areas you wish you had simplified earlier in the design?
