Many developers are moving away from traditional monolithic application architectures to creating smaller microservices, each with their own APIs. But there is a third solution that is often overlooked: macroservices. Developers should always aim for the path of least resistance, so if the business exists in a domain where stability is paramount and functional areas of focus loosely coupled, an API-based macroservice architecture can bring a balance between the reliability of microservices and the ease of maintainability of a monolith. In this session, we’ll talk about how you assess if your solution is a good candidate for this approach, how to get started building an API-based macroservice architecture and learn from our experience in doing so.
