  • Chapter 9. Microservices Architecture
    Feb 13 2025

    Everyone's favorite popular architecture of the moment, our next architecture style goes fully into distributed architectures with microservices, discussing how it differs from monolithic architectures and other distributed ones. Regardless of what people say, this isn't the only architecture anyone should use; we discuss the good and bad for this style, along with its superpowers and kryptonite.

  • Chapter 8. Microkernel Architecture
    Jan 16 2025

    Our third monolithic (sometimes) architecture style is the micro-kernel architecture. We delve into how this is different than an architecture that just supports plug-ins, and talk about some of the great uses and dangers to watch out for. As with all our style chapters, we end with a discussion of the super powers and kryptonite of this style.

  • Chapter 7: The Modular Monolith
    Dec 12 2024

    In our second architecture styles chapter, we delve into the Domain-driven Design inspired cousin of the Layered architecture (our previous episode)--the Modular Monolith.

    We describe what sets these two monolithic architectures apart, what the superpowers (and kryptonite) for this style, and when you would use it rather than a layered architecture.

    And, as always, we answer the voluminous questions from our audience at the recording.
