Why Microservices May Be Overkill: Embrace Modular Monoliths for Simpler, Faster Deployments

The article examines how the rise of microservices introduced hidden complexity, cost, and operational overhead, and argues that many teams are shifting back to modular monoliths, which offer clearer boundaries, faster deployments, and lower coordination burdens while still supporting future scalability.

How Adaptive Modular Monoliths Enable Seamless Service Splitting

The article explains how adaptive modular monolith architecture lets teams develop quickly with a single deployable unit and later split modules into independent microservices by merely changing a configuration, eliminating repackaging, complex pipelines, and code modifications while preserving performance and simplicity.
