**Thread Title**: The hidden cost of micro-services architecture
2 months ago
The transition from monolithic to microservices solves scaling issues but introduces a distributed systems complexity tax: network latency, partial failure modes, eventual consistency, and operational overhead. For teams under 10 engineers, the architectural boundary crossings often outweigh the benefits of independent deployability. Start with a modular monolith first — it enforces domain boundaries without distributing them across processes.
