Modular Monoliths Resurge in Cloud-Native Architectures
The Weekly Radar The Context In the past week, there’s been a noticeable shift toward modular monoliths among teams aiming to balance development velocity and operational simplicity. Unlike pure monoliths, a modular monolith enforces clear module boundaries within a single deployment unit. This approach preserves the local performance benefits of co-located code while allowing separate…

Why Monolith-First Is Making a Comeback in 2026
The Weekly Radar The Context The monolith-first approach is gaining traction as teams wrestle with the operational overhead of managing dozens or hundreds of microservices. Instead of jumping straight into a distributed architecture, squads are opting to start with a single, modular codebase. This lets them ship features more quickly, onboard engineers without steep service-mesh…

Service Mesh and Orchestration: The Next Step in Cloud-Native Adoption
The Weekly Radar The Context Cloud-native architectures promise scalability and resilience by decomposing applications into loosely coupled services. Yet as organizations embrace containers and microservices, managing the interactions between dozens or hundreds of services becomes a new challenge. Service orchestration patterns—centralized control planes that coordinate workflows—and service meshes—sidecar proxies that handle communication, security, and observability—are…

Escaping Cloud-Native Anti-Patterns: From Monolithic Hell to Death Star
The Weekly Radar Evolution and Maturity: Part 1 of the Adoption of Cloud-Native Architecture series lays out how microservices, serverless functions, and containerization evolved from the aggregate pattern. It highlights the shift toward 12-factor apps and warns teams against lifting and shifting legacy monoliths without refactoring.Service Mesh and Orchestration: Part 3 drills into how service meshes (for example Istio) and sidecar proxies solve interaction complexity in…
