Software Architecture: There And Back Again - Interview With Steve Ardalis Smith

Everyone knows the very best software architecture is Microservices.

End of discussion. Nothing more to say. Mic drop.

Steve 'Ardalis' Smith has something to say about this! In fact, he's published courses specifically for people who may have gone down the wrong path and need to work "backwards" to a monolithic architecture.

Unfortunately, it's very common that Microservices are used without fully understanding why there's a benefit and what the trade-offs are. Fortunately, we're all getting better at recognizing that Microservices are not a one-size-fits all solution.

A huge thank you to Steve for this conversation!
