I'm deciding between two approaches for {{problem}}.

Option A: {{option_a}}
Option B: {{option_b}}

My context:
- Team size: {{team_size}}
- Expected scale: {{expected_scale}}
- Existing infrastructure: {{infrastructure}}
- Main concerns: {{concerns}}

Compare them honestly. Don't hedge — give me a recommendation and explain the trade-offs I'd be accepting.
