Domain-Driven Design

Microservices vs. Monoliths: Choosing Your Architecture Two common patterns shape many software projects: a monolith, with most code in one deployable unit, and microservices, where capabilities become small, independently deployable services that communicate over APIs. Monoliths tend to be simpler to build and test. They work well for small teams and projects with modest scale. Microservices can scale teams and traffic, support diverse tech stacks, and improve fault isolation. They demand robust automation and careful data design. ...

Microservices Architecture: Design for Scale Moving from a monolith to microservices helps teams ship faster and scale operations. But to truly gain scale, you must design services with clear boundaries, reliable communication, and strong operations. This guide shares practical ideas you can apply today. Why scale matters When services are small and autonomous, teams update one part without risking others. Scale also means handling traffic spikes, growing data, and occasional failures without breaking the whole system. Clear boundaries plus resilient connections keep performance steady as demand grows. ...
