Monolith vs microservices is one of the most debated topics in software architecture — and most developers have been taught to get it wrong. In this video we break down the three real architectural options: the traditional monolith, the modular monolith, and distributed systems. We explain what each one is, what it costs, and when it is genuinely the right choice. Including the real story behind Amazon Prime Video cutting costs by 90% by moving away from microservices — and what it actually teaches us. ✅ What you will learn: — What a monolith is and why it is still used at massive scale (Shopify, GitHub) — What a modular monolith is and why the industry is returning to it in 2025 — What distributed systems and microservices actually solve — and what they cost — The distributed monolith anti-pattern and how teams accidentally build it — A clear framework for choosing the right architecture for your situation ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 Amazon Prime Video cut costs 90% — here is why that matters 00:35 Why architecture decisions define your team's future 01:30 The traditional monolith — what it is and where it wins 04:30 The modular monolith — the most underrated architecture 07:30 Distributed systems and microservices — the real trade-offs 10:30 The distributed monolith trap — how teams fall into it 09:30 How to choose — a clear framework for any team Subscribe & Hit the Bell for more deep dives into hidden tech that powers the internet!
