That’s just _duplicating_ the nodes horizontally which wasnt what I meant. That’s obviously possible snd common. What I meant was actually butchering the monolith into separate pieces and deploying it, which is - by the definition of monolith - impossible.

  What would be the point of actually butchering the monolith? There is no limit or cost to deploying 10000 lines over 1000 lines.

    I meant in the sense of ”machine A only manages thing authentication” and ”machine B only manages orders”. If that’s possible (regardless of what was deployed to the two machines) then the app just isn’t a true monolith.
