want to run #Kiro Crew from a Docker container?
Here's a guide that takes you through all the steps. There are also some #Docker and agentic security lessons to be learned so this was a fun one to write! 😆

Most microservices fail because of design decisions:
• Chatty sync calls
• Shared databases
• No ownership
• Treating it as just tech

Switching systems is the riskiest part of a migration.
One way to reduce that risk is using the Parallel Run pattern:
Run old + new side by side
Validate with shadow testing
Then switch with confidence

Don’t migrate your monolith all at once.
That’s one of the fastest ways to introduce risk and cost.
The Strangler Fig Pattern gives you a safer path: replace functionality slowly instead of a full rewrite.

Building a modular monolith? Look into Spring Modulith.
For Java devs, this is your go-to. If you use .NET or something else, it's still a great reference for how to structure boundaries properly.
Super cool production-level stuff.
Are microservices always more expensive than monoliths? No.
Likely? Yes.
“Always” almost never fits architecture.
With the right design and scaling, costs can be similar or even lower.
A classic case of "it depends".
Will AI replace developers?
No. But... hard cold reality?
Yes, coding may become a commodity, just something AI does.
But that's a task, not the job.
That's why architecture matters more than ever. Learn how the pieces fit together and you're future proofing your career.
3 signs your modular monolith may be ready for microservices.
When scaling pressure, distributed data patterns, and team ownership friction appear, it may be time to evolve the architecture.

Modular monoliths are great… until scale hits.
Deployment coupling and wasteful scaling start appearing.
Sometimes extracting just the pressure points into microservices is enough.

Ball of mud codebase?
You can evolve it into a modular monolith without rewriting everything.
Here are 4 repeatable steps to start structuring the system again.

Most monoliths start clean.
Then shortcuts accumulate, dependencies point the wrong way, and the architecture diagram stops matching the code.
That’s architectural entropy.

A modular monolith only works if the boundaries are real.
Modules own their data, expose contracts, and keep changes isolated.
Otherwise it slowly becomes a ball of mud.

Monoliths are not the problem.
Ball of muds are.
Without boundaries, everything starts calling everything and hidden dependencies spread everywhere.
That’s how systems turn into a ball of mud.

Computers were women.
Before electronic machines, “human computers” performed complex calculations. Most were women.
First algorithm: Ada Lovelace (1843)
First compiler: Grace Hopper (1952)

Most teams jump straight to microservices.
But for most greenfield systems, start with a modular monolith instead.
You get the architecture benefits without distributed system complexity.

When is a monolith the smarter choice?
Small team.
Unclear boundaries.
Low ops maturity.

Monoliths or microservices?
Wrong focus.
The real issue is whether the architecture was intentional.
Without discipline, either one will break.

Microservices are independent…until they’re all behind the same API Gateway.
If it fails, everything fails.
Availability is part of your architecture, not an afterthought.

Scaling can fail because of your container registry.
If image pulls stall, services don’t start and recovery slows.
