    • From Zero to Hero: From Microservices to Modular Monoliths

    Simplify your solution architecture

    Steve "ardalis" Smith Steve "ardalis" Smith

    About This Course

    Microservices have been hyped as THE architecture to use for the last decade, but for many applications, they�re not the right choice. In this course, you�ll learn how to assess the microservices architectural style and compare it to the modular monolith approach. Then, you�ll learn how to plan and execute a partial or complete migration from your microservices approach to a modular monolith solution. Such a move will eliminate much of the complexity in deployment, troubleshooting, and observability that plague distributed applications in general and microservices in particular and will likely reduce your overall hosting expense. This high-level, no-code course is designed to assist software architects and technical leaders with planning and successfully implementing partial or complete migration from microservices to a modular monolith architecture.
