Are you struggling to decide between a Monolithic or Microservices architecture for your next software project? In this deep dive, we explore the fundamental differences that defined Netflix's massive growth and continue to spark debates in the engineering world. We break down the pros and cons of the "Monolithic Giant"—perfect for startups needing speed—versus the scalable flexibility of Microservices. You might be surprised to learn that newer isn't always faster; we reveal performance data showing where Monoliths actually outperform Microservices in high-concurrency tests! We also cover the real-world challenges of migration, including "development sprawl" and debugging nightmares, and introduce the "Strangler Fig Pattern" as a safe migration strategy. Whether you are building a speed boat or an aircraft carrier, this video helps you make the right choice. 00:00 Intro: The Netflix Dilemma 00:35 The Monolithic Giant Explained 01:39 The Microservices Solution 02:41 Key Trade-offs Breakdown 03:03 Performance Check: Is Newer Faster? 04:22 Migration Hurdles & The Strangler Fig 05:27 Verdict: Speedboat vs. Aircraft Carrier ✅ Playlists by topic: Cryptography · Networking · Databases · DevOps · System Design · Programming ✅ Learn by doing: code snippets, diagrams, and short exercises ✅ Questions?
