Why .NET 10 Makes Modular Monoliths More Viable Than Microservices

Microservices were never meant to be the default starting point. They were a response to a very specific set of problems, large teams, independent deployment requirements, organisational scaling, and systems that had already outgrown a single codebas...

Part 10. Migrating a Legacy Layered .NET Application to a Modular Monolith

Most Development Teams do not wake up one morning with the freedom to design a modular monolith from scratch. They inherit something. A system that grew organically. A codebase that made sense at the time. Controllers, services, repositories, a share...

Part 9. Operational Concerns in Modular Monoliths

There’s a point in every system’s life where architecture stops being something you reason about and starts being something you experience. It usually arrives during an incident, when logs are noisy, alerts are firing, and someone asks a deceptively ...

Part 7. Knowing When Your Modular Monolith Is Ready to Split

By the time you ask whether a modular monolith should be split, you already know the system well enough that the question feels uncomfortable. If it feels academic, you’re not ready. The moment it becomes emotionally charged, when people disagree str...

Part 2. Vertical Slice Architecture Inside a Modular Monolith

In the first post of this series, I talked about enforcing real module boundaries. Assemblies. Internals. Contracts. The boring but essential stuff that stops your modular monolith collapsing into a shared-nothing-in-name-only mess. But once you’ve d...

Part 1. Enforcing True Module Boundaries in a .NET Modular Monolith

There’s a moment that happens to most of us at some point in our careers. You’ve done “everything right”. You’ve split the solution into folders called Modules. You’ve got namespaces that look clean. You might even have separate projects. And yet, si...

Part 3. Multiple DbContexts per Module Without Breaking Transactions

By the time you’ve enforced real module boundaries and organised behaviour using vertical slices, you run head-first into the next uncomfortable question: If modules are truly independent, why are they still sharing a DbContext? This is where most ...

Living Architecture - Crafting Code that Thrives with Us

„I should do better.“ „There has to be a smarter way.“ „We need a full rewrite.“ „Let’s switch to microservices.“ Sound familiar? Wall of entanglement Most of us who create software have hit a wall — or several — and found ourselves like this. Th...

Refactoring Overgrown Bounded Contexts in Modular Monoliths

When you're building a modular monolith, it's easy to let bounded contexts grow too large over time. What started as a clean domain boundary slowly turns into a dumping ground for unrelated logic. Before you know it, you have a massive context respon...
