Scaling Techniques for Team Collaboration

Organizations facing scaling issues need to assess which parts of their processes need to be scaled. For medium to large organizations with applications involving multiple teams, it becomes essential to scale their teams properly to avoid Conway's law problems. While microservices are commonly used to address these issues, building modular monoliths can also facilitate multiple teams collaborating effectively. Conway's law applies to microservices, indicating that all software reflects the teams that build it. Hence, unless an organization has a large team, opting for microservices may result in unnecessary complexity as it is designed for granular elements that can be worked on simultaneously.
