Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Monolith First Approaches from Martin Fowler and Sam Ne

The video discusses the monolithic-first approach advocated by Martin Fowler and Sam Newman. Fowler suggests starting with a monolithic architecture due to its simplicity and modularity, while Newman agrees, emphasizing that microservices should only be used when their benefits are clear. The video also explores the advantages of modular monolithic architecture, such as reusability and reduced complexity. It concludes with guidelines for choosing between monolithic and microservices based on project requirements like consistency and scalability.
