I feel like at this point in my career I've worked in all four quadrants of the spagehtti/encapsulation plane ^ monolith | | <- spaghetti ----+------ clean -> | | independent services v I really feel like it doesn't correlate. I think the real cause of spaghetti monsters is *mismatching* microservices to applications that are actually a single project under the hood, or monoliths to applications that are actually multiple applications under the hood.
