Live Coding The Hive: building a microservices-ready modular monolith
After a decade of wrestling with spaghetti monoliths and then accidentally swapping them for brittle distributed monoliths, the modular monolith is finally having its moment. The real trick isn’t just splitting code up—but doing it without creating tight coupling, unmanageable debt or rigid systems that can’t keep up with your ever-growing complexity.
Enter the Hive pattern, which embraces “Build once, deploy as you wish.” By decoupling your deployment strategy from your core design, you can start with a modular monolith and gracefully evolve into microservices (or stay monolithic) as your needs demand. The result? A supple, scalable architecture that’s ready for both brownfield rescue missions and greenfield adventures.
