Monolith vs Microservices

Monolith vs Microservices - which should you build? As ever in software development, each has its benefits and its downsides. What is a monolithic architecture in this sense, and what are microservices?

One useful perspective on this is what is the scope of change that you need to evaluate before release, and how easy is it to make, and evaluate those changes. To put that another way, if we think about this from the perspective of version control, should you store your changes in a single mono-repo or in multiple-repos?

In this episode, Software Engineering expert Dave Farley looks at this problem from the perspective of Continuous Delivery and explores some of the trade-offs, and while he’s doing that he rules-out a very common, but wasteful approach to SW design and architecture.
