We kind of moved away from this monolithic setup tho. Oh you can scale-up your hardware like we used to, it will work, until some point. And the day you will need to split your services will come quickly.
This is a perfect solution for early stage projects if you're in a startup or for a personel project, but monoliths are....well....monoliths.
- jazzyjackson 5y agowhy constrain it to early stage? must everyone set their sights on 1 million DAU? monoliths are KISS, and kubernetes can be YAGNI
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe only thing that is hard/impossible to scale (without tradeoffs) is stateful services like databases, and those won't go away even if you move to microservices. Appservers can be trivially scaled horizontally regardless of whether it's one process that does all (monolith) or a mess of microservices.
