Orchestrating Modular Monoliths: Benefits, Strategies, and How LittleHorse Can Help
· 5 min read
In the era of microservices, the word "monolith" has often been treated as something to decommission. However, as many engineering teams have discovered, decomissioning long existing services can be a non-starter. In addition, prematurely splitting a monolithic application into many or dozens of distributed services can lead to an operational nightmare. Instead, we suggest the Modular Monolith.
But how do you give a modular monolith the resilience, observability, and workflow modularity of a distributed system? The answer lies in orchestration.
