The Patterns That Actually Matter: What Building Microservices at Scale Taught Me About Distributed Systems
The first time I decomposed a monolith into microservices, I made every mistake in the book. We ended up with a distributed monolith—all the complexity of microservices with none of the benefits. That painful experience taught me that microservices architecture isn’t about the services themselves; it’s about the patterns that make them work together. Microservices… Continue reading
The Architecture Decision That Will Make or Break Your System: Monolith vs Microservices in 2025
The debate between monolithic and microservices architectures has evolved significantly over the past decade. What was once a straightforward “microservices are better” narrative has matured into a nuanced understanding that the right architecture depends entirely on context. After leading architecture decisions across dozens of enterprise systems, I’ve learned that the most expensive mistakes come not… Continue reading
