Explore the trade-offs between microservices and modular architectures in this 47-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Delve into the complexities of microservices implementation and discover the often-overlooked alternative of modularized applications. Learn about the three tenets of modularity, the challenges of microservices including service discovery, network fallacies, deployment, and configuration management. Compare the advantages of microservices and modules, and understand how different programming languages like Java 9, ES2015, and C++20 approach modularization. Gain insights to make informed decisions about application architecture, balancing the benefits of independent deployment with the strengths of internal modular structures.
