The Hive: a modularization strategy for your modular monolith or microservices
Topics:
modular monolith
microservices
Level: Intermediate

After a decade, the industry is realizing that poorly designed microservices can easily transform into a distributed monolith, even more problematic than the spaghetti monolith they aimed to address. To tackle this issue, the concept of a modular monolith is emerging as an alternative approach.

However, the challenge still lies in effectively splitting it without falling into the pitfall of a tightly coupled and rigid system. How to modularize it right while dealing with the growing complexity of your system? How to survive beyond our modeling debt and take control back?

Discover the Hive architecture style which decouples your deployment strategy - modular monolith or microservices - from the design of your software, embracing the “Model first, Deploy as you wish” principle. The Hive pattern will bring you a supple and scalable design that stands resilient in the face of evolving challenges for brown or greenfield products.
