Microservices vs Modular Monolith: A Decision Framework
Explore the decision framework between microservices and modular monoliths. Learn how to determine the right architecture for your needs.
The architectural discussion in the industry often shifts between trends. For years, microservices were seen as the go-to solution for systems anticipating growth. Recently, however, many engineering teams have been documenting their return to monolithic or modular monolith architectures. The right architecture depends not only on technical requirements but also on organizational structure and operational maturity. This article discusses the benefits of a modular monolith and the complexities introduced by microservices.
