Microservices? Monoliths? An Annoying Discussion!

Microservices aimed to address the issues with monoliths. But do they? Criticizing microservices is now trendy - does that mean monoliths were the right solution? The ongoing debate is frustrating and highlights a fundamental misunderstanding of software architecture. This talk shows that microservices as well as monoliths are two options to implement systems and their modules with different trade-offs. The real problem is which modules to split a system into - and that needs to be solved for microservices as well as monoliths.
