C4 Model
The C4 model for visualising software architecture has been gaining traction, with many organisations adopting it as their preferred way to document software architecture. Although C4 is relatively lightweight and straightforward, there are several misconceptions that I see on a regular basis, and several common ways in which teams use C4 incorrectly.

Modular Monoliths
By Simon Brown

GOTO Berlin 2018
Software Architecture
Modularity
Monoliths
If you want evidence that the software development industry is susceptible to fashion, just go and take a look at all of the hype around microservices. It's everywhere! For some people microservices is 'the next big thing', whereas for others it's simply a lightweight evolution of the big service-oriented architectures that we saw 10 years ago 'done right'. Microservices is by no means a silver bullet though, and the design thinking required to create a good microservices architecture is the same as that needed to create a well structured monolith. And this begs the question that if you can't build a well-structured monolith, what makes you think microservices is the answer?
