- Description
In an era dominated by microservices, we faced the complete rewrite of a legacy web monolith. After thoroughly analyzing the alternatives, we decided to embrace a monolithic architecture once again.
But why make this choice when everyone seems to be moving in the opposite direction? Was it the right decision? In this talk, I will share the journey that led us to this conclusion: the motivations behind the complete code rewrite, the strategic and technical considerations we tackled, and the reasons why we believe a monolith is still the best solution for our specific case.
Additionally, I will discuss the technologies we selected and why they proved to be essential for the success of the project.
