Navigating Backend Architecture Challenges

This chapter examines the complexities of building scalable back-end architectures during high-demand events, with a focus on event-driven systems and the role of serverless technologies. It contrasts microservices with event-driven designs and discusses real-world implementations by companies like Lego. The chapter also highlights the practical challenges developers face with legacy systems and the evolving landscape of tools, including the impact of large language models on programming.
