Avoid Tight Coupling Between Modules

One of the key red flags to watch out for when hiring a consultant or assessing an architecture is tight coupling between modules. Direct calls between modules or sharing the same database can hinder modularity and independence of components.

Modular Monoliths strike the middle ground between monoliths and microservices! Carl and Richard talk to Steve Smith about his work striking a balance between the simplicity of a monolithic set of services and the complexity of breaking everything into microservices. Steve discusses the performance and simplicity advantages of monoliths and only breaking out services with specific needs into separate services. .NET has excellent tooling to help you evaluate, test, and manage your modular monoliths!
