Discover the journey from Monolith to Microservices - a guide to modern architecture!

Monolith to Microservices is a professional book by Sam Newman that can serve as a practical guide for anyone considering or planning the transformation of applications and systems toward a microservices-based architecture.

In the world of software development, microservices are one of the approaches that in some situations can facilitate independent deployment of system parts and division of responsibilities within teams. This book will help you understand how to think about moving from a traditional monolithic approach to a microservices architecture, what benefits and trade-offs this step typically brings, and what to watch out for to minimize unnecessary risks and costs.

Thanks to the practical perspective and procedures described in the book, you can improve your ability to respond to changing requirements, clarify the migration process, and better understand the impacts on deployment and operations. Whether you are a developer, architect, or IT project manager, this resource offers principles, recommendations, and examples that can be used when planning and implementing architectural changes.
