Modular monoliths are becoming more popular in the software engineering community. The allure of Microservices is becoming less compelling. We also have seasoned veterans of our industry saying you should reconsider: > You shouldn't start a new project with microservices, even if you're sure your application will be big enough to make it worthwhile. — Martin Fowler Modular monoliths give you the logical architecture of Microservices without the operational complexity.

EF interceptors are interesting because you can do powerful things with them. For example, you can hook into materialization, handle optimistic concurrency errors, or add query hints.

In software engineering, "coupling" means how much different parts of a software system depend on each other. If they are tightly coupled, changes to one part can affect many others. But if they are loosely coupled, changes to one part won't cause big problems in the rest of the system. Domain events are a Domain-Driven Design (DDD) tactical pattern that we can use to build loosely coupled systems. You can raise a domain event from the domain, which represents a fact that has occurred. And ot...| www.milanjovanovic.tech
