Monolithic architecture does not means that the system is poorly

designed or bad. Instead

▪ If you follow Modular approach, It will comes with lots of similar

benefits with microservices like re-usability, easy to Refactor, Better

organized dependencies and teams.

▪ So Should we always start with Monolith First Approaches ? – NO

▪ How we can decide ? If

▪ Strong Consistency is Mandatory && Independent Scale and

Deploy is not Required = Modular Monolithic

▪ Strong Consistency is not Mandatory, Eventual Consistency is

OK && Independent Scale and Deploy is Required =

Microservices
