The Rise of Hybrid Architectures: Balancing Monoliths and Microservices
THE WEEKLY RADAR The Context In 2026, the binary debate of “monolith vs microservices” is giving way to a spectrum where many production systems live as hybrid architectures. Modular monoliths—single deployable units with internal modules—offer much of microservices’ structural benefits without multiplying operational overhead. Event-driven designs further decouple components, but they introduce tracing complexity that…

The Resilience Engineering Revolution in Distributed Systems
The Weekly Radar The Context Modern systems operate at scales that make downtime unaffordable. Over the past years, we’ve seen an explosion of interest in resilience engineering; formalizing patterns like circuit breakers, bulkheads and retries to absorb failures rather than propagate them. These techniques move reliability from the ops team’s afterthought into the core design…
