The right reason to split a monolith is team autonomy and independent deployment, not technical elegance. This article covers when splitting makes sense and how to do it without creating a distributed monolith. What Microservices Actually Solve Microservices address two problems: 1. Independent deployment: Team A can deploy the Order Service without coordinating with Team B’s Payment Service. No shared deployment pipeline, no release freeze, no “all-hands” deploy windows.https://devops-monk.com/2026/05/spring-boot-microservices-full-stack/Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://devops-monk.com/2026/05/spring-boot-microservices-full-stack/Building microservices requires more than splitting a monolith into services. You need service discovery, a gateway to route traffic, centralised configuration management, and resilience patterns to handle inevitable failures. Spring Cloud provides all of this as a cohesive stack. This guide builds a complete microservices architecture from scratch: Eureka for service discovery, Spring Cloud Gateway for routing, Spring Cloud Config Server for centralised config, and Resilience4j for circuit breakers and retry.https://devops-monk.com/2026/05/spring-modulith-guide/Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://devops-monk.com/2026/05/spring-modulith-guide/Microservices solve real problems: independent deployability, team autonomy, technology flexibility. They also create real problems: distributed transactions, network latency, operational complexity. Many teams split into microservices too early, before they understand their domain well enough to draw stable boundaries. Spring Modulith gives you module boundaries, enforced isolation, and event-driven decoupling inside a single deployable JAR. It’s the pragmatic middle ground. The Modular Monolith Problem It Solves A typical Spring Boot monolith looks like this after a year:
