Microservices? Monoliths? An Annoying Discussion!
#1about 3 minutes
The flawed debate between monoliths and microservices
The common narrative pitting simple monoliths against complex microservices ignores the significant deployment and testing challenges of large monolithic systems.
#2about 3 minutes
Why complex microservice architectures like Netflix succeed
The success of complex systems like Netflix's architecture is not due to its complexity, but to effective modularization and information hiding.
#3about 5 minutes
The real problem is poor modularization, not architecture choice
Whether you have a thousand microservices or a class with a thousand methods, the root issue is a failure to create loosely coupled modules.
#4about 8 minutes
How to design modules around business functionality
Apply principles like information hiding and bounded contexts to build modules around business capabilities, not shared data models.
#5about 3 minutes
Aligning architecture with organizational goals and trust
To realize the productivity gains of microservices, organizational structures must trust teams with autonomy over deployment and technology choices.
#6about 2 minutes
Conclusion: Focus on fundamentals beyond the hype
The debate over monoliths versus microservices is a distraction from the fundamental principles of good modularization and organizational design.
