Ask HN: What are good books on SW architecture that don't sell microservices?
3 by dondraper36 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
There have been multiple discussions of how the microservices movement did more harm than good, how a modular monolith can be a much better option. I wish there was a comprehensive book (ideally) that is practical, pragmatic, doesn't advocate the use of microservices just because it is cool, etc. Some books that are often recommended have "microservices" in their names which is a pretty bad start. For example, I am thinking of how two services should communicate (I am unfortunately guilty of having more services that I really needed). There are multiple options and the choice depends on factors like synchronous vs asynchronous so I would like to read a detailed analysis of all tradeoffs and considerations. Ideally, from authors that really know what they're talking about.
