DDD

When organizations transition from a monolithic architecture to microservices, they face a critical, high-stakes question: How do we draw the boundaries of our services? In theory, microservices should be loose, decoupled units that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. In practice, however, many teams end up building a distributed monolith—a system where services are so tightly coupled that a single business change requires modifying and deploying multiple services simultaneously, compounding network latency and deployment gridlocks.
