Strategic Monoliths and Microservices

Learn how to make balanced architectural decisions based on need and purpose, rather than hype, so you can promote value and innovation, deliver more evolvable systems, and avoid costly mistakes. Using realistic examples, the authors show how to construct well-designed monoliths that are maintainable and extensible, and how to gradually redesign and reimplement even the most tangled legacy systems into truly effective microservices.

• Compare architectural styles that can lead to versatile, adaptable applications and services
• Recognize when monoliths are your best option and how best to architect, design, and implement them
• Learn when to move monoliths to microservices and how to do it, whether they're modularized or a "Big Ball of Mud"
