In this lesson
tie every split or merge to a concrete need.
Planned topics
- Legitimate drivers: team autonomy, different scaling needs, fault isolation, different change rates, compliance.
- A split buys independence and costs network, operations, and consistency work.
- State the benefit as a measurable change, e.g. fewer cross-team merge conflicts or isolated failures.
- A modular monolith is a valid destination.
