Modular Monolith Architecture: Structure, Communication & Team Topology Explained

This article explores modular monolith architecture, comparing monolithic vs modular structures, peer-to-peer vs mediator communication patterns, characteristic ratings (cost, simplicity, modularity, deployability, maintainability, elasticity, fault tolerance), suitable and unsuitable scenarios, and aligned team topologies based on Fundamentals of Software Architecture.
