AWS Blueprint Aims to Rescue Failed Microservices From ‘Distributed Monolith’ Trap
Enterprise teams are discovering that microservices implementations often create “distributed monoliths” – systems that inherit the complexity of distributed architecture without gaining genuine independence. A new methodology combining domain-driven design with AWS services offers a path forward for organizations struggling with tightly coupled services and coordinated deployments.
