Amplication·3y7 Tips to Build Scalable Node.js Applications
Node.js is a JavaScript framework created on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. If used correctly, it can be used to build highly scalable mission-critical applications. This article will discuss several tips which can be helpful when it comes to building scalable applications.
David Heinemeier Hansson·3yEven Amazon can't make sense of serverless or microservices
The Prime Video team at Amazon has published a rather remarkable case study on their decision to dump their serverless, microservices architecture and replace it with a monolith instead. This move saved them a staggering 90% on operating costs, and simplified the system too. But beyond celebrating their good sense, I think there's a bigger point here.

Software Architecture 2023 - definitions, trends, trends & resources. In order to create a safe, easy-to-maintain and high-performance application in 2021, you need to learn more about software architecture. This article is meant to serve as an introduction to the topic of software architecture in 2021 for CTOs.
David Heinemeier Hansson·3yHow to recover from microservices
The worst form of microservices madness is when you splinter a single, coherent flow across multiple systems. When microservices are done right, they often target a narrow, isolated, and usually performance-critical segment of the system. The vast majority of systems should have no more than two backend languages in play at any one time.
Amplication·3yMonoliths to Microservices using the Strangler Pattern
Strangler Pattern is a software design pattern used to refactor monolithic applications to microservices. It helps developers replace parts of the monolith with new and improved components while maintaining the same functionality. The Strangler Pattern uses a wrapper to integrate the microservices with the monolithic.
Community Picks·3yMicro Frontends with GraphQL
Micro frontends and GraphQL can simplify data fetching and communication across microservices. GraphQL provides a standardized interface between the client and server, eliminating the need for multiple endpoints and reducing data transfer. A GraphQL gateway acts as a middleware layer, providing a single point of entry to the application and simplifying communication and data fetching between the client and microservices.
Amplication·3yAmazon Ditches Microservices for Monolith: Decoding Prime Video's Architectural Shift
Amazon Ditches Microservices for Monolith: Decoding Prime Video's Architectural Shift. This all stemmed from a blog post they published in March, sharing how they cut 90% of their costs by migrating their microservices architecture to a monolith. Amazon's tool was broken into three main components: the media converter, defect detectors, and orchestration.
Community Picks·3yWhere did Microservices go
The post discusses the reflection on microservices and the emergence of new technologies. It highlights the costs of pursuing microservices, the reasons to start with a monolith first, and the scalability of a monolithic architecture. The post also mentions serverless computing as an evolution of microservices and discusses the complexity of the data layer.

DevOps.com·3yMicroservices Sucks — Amazon Goes Back to Basics
Amazon Prime Video has ditched its use of microservices-cum-serverless, reverting to a traditional, monolithic architecture. The move from a distributed microservices architecture to a monolith application helped achieve higher scale, resilience, and reduce costs. Amazon's video streaming service achieved a 90% reduction in operational costs.
All Things Distributed·3yMonoliths are not dinosaurs
Building evolvable software systems is a strategy, not a religion, says John Sutter. Sutter: Re-evaluating and re-architecting our systems to meet the ever-increasing demands of our customers. There is no one-size-fits-all, he says, and no particular architectural style is mandated.

TechCrunch·3yImproving developer experience is now a priority
Internal developer portals are a welcome tool to alleviate the cognitive load of developers. They also enable companies to build self-serve actions that developers can perform. The wider adoption of internal developer portals is correlated to the rise of platform engineering teams, whose role is to empower other developers.
Dev Genius·3yAmazon Prime Video reduced costs by 90% by ditching Microservices
Amazon Prime Video reduced costs by over 90% by ditching microservices and moving to a monolith architecture. The scaling issues with microservices architecture were related to orchestration management and passing video frames. The article debates whether microservices are useless or beneficial.
