All true, though monoliths themselves aren't a good alternative. The real alternative is "Roles". Here are my old slides about our DI tool for Scala, implementing Roles: https://github.com/7mind/slides/blob/master/02-roles/roles.p... And a couple of talks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o65sKWnFyk0 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzpvjkUukAs And another post about the same approach from another prospective (monorepo vs multirepo): https://blog.7mind.io/role-based-repositories.html

But... we do better things than microservices: https://github.com/7mind/slides/blob/master/02-roles/target/...

> Monorepo shortcomings 1 and 2 seem like bullshit to me. It's a blogpost and the author didn't try to build a total and exhaustive formal system. These shortcomings are not absolute truth but actually they are true. I've seen this multiple times: a small projects evolves over years into a monster. Engineers add new components and reuse any other components they may need creating horizontal links. At some point they feel like they lost their productivity and they blame monorepo because it's easy to create horizontal links in a typical monorepo. So, they try to build a multirepo flow and they spend a lot of effort, time and money trying to make it working. At some point they feel that their productivity is even worse than it was before because now they need to orchestrate things so they merge everything back. Same applies not only to VCS f

You can easily get the good parts of OSGi, without its cruft and complexity: https://github.com/7mind/slides/raw/master/02-roles/target/r... (by advanced DI with garbage collection)

Actually, people do think about combining both approaches, see the Roles concept - https://github.com/7mind/slides/raw/master/02-roles/target/r...

We recently gave a name to that One-Binary-Many-Services approach - Roles. https://github.com/7mind/slides/raw/master/02-roles/target/r...

There are ways to keep the benefits of microservices such as isolation, while avoiding distributed computing, for example, roles: Slides - https://github.com/7mind/slides/raw/master/02-roles/target/r...
