Архитектура веб-приложений: от монолита до микросервисов

This text chronicles the evolution of a web developer's architectural journey, starting with a monolithic application and progressing to microservices. Initially, the developer embraced a monolith for its simplicity and speed, suitable for small projects. As the project grew, the limitations of the monolith became apparent, leading to "architectural debt." The developer then adopted a layered architecture to introduce structure and improve maintainability, but it still presented challenges. Recognizing the need for better organization, the developer then transitioned to a feature-based approach, organizing code by functionality. Finally, the developer embraced a distributed architecture with microservices for improved scalability and fault isolation, using API gateways and message queues for communication. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding domain-driven design (DDD) concepts and making conscious architectural decisions based on project needs and team size. The text concludes with the developer advocating for modular monoliths before implementing microservices, stressing the importance of carefully considering architectural choices.
