Taming Monolithic Systems with Volatility-Based Decomposition

Review of Architecture Designs: The talk covers service-oriented architecture (SOA), microservices, command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), and domain-driven design (DDD), highlighting their pros and cons.
Decomposition Techniques: It discusses the IDesign method and volatility-based decomposition, emphasizing the need to identify and encapsulate areas of potential change to minimize impact across the system.
Challenges and Solutions: The talk addresses common issues in microservices like deployment complexity, race conditions, and managing dependencies between services and teams, proposing solutions to manage these effectively.
Volatility-Based Decomposition: A significant focus is on decomposing based on volatility rather than functional decomposition, allowing systems to adapt to changes over time with minimal disruption.
Practical Examples and Applications: Real-world examples from the speaker's experience at PowerInbox illustrate the implementation of these architectural concepts, highlighting the evolution from monolithic to microservices architecture.
