(English) Monoliths Aren’t Inherently Bad

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf Britisches Englisch verfügbar.Self-professed minimalist developer Kelsey Hightower a few months ago wrote about monoliths being the future. The microservice design pattern has been trending in software development for quite some now.
