After much debate my company recently switched back to a monolithic architecture and it may be the greatest decision we've ever made.

It dramatically simplifies so many aspects of development, which means you can have developers working on more impactful features and you don't have to worry about create a meta structure for keeping things consistent across all your micro services which is one of the biggest benefits I didn't see mentioned in this article.

And in many systems with interdependent logic (which ours is), not duplicating data and not having micro services calling other micro services in loops become incredibly difficult things to avoid.

I highly recommend the monolith for anyone who is not trying to cope with epic scaling issues.

All hail the monolith!
