Don't start with a Monolith

Stefan Tilkov
is one of those pragmatic, experienced technologists that I
listen to a lot when formulating my own writing. We've been
talking recently about the applicability of microservices, and
he disagreed with much of the recent talk I've heard in favor of
a monolith-first
strategy. So he's kindly written a short article arguing
that you should
be more inclined to begin with microservices, since
monoliths rarely work out to be as well structured as you'd
hope.
