The use of open source databases has increased steadily in recent years. Past trepidation — about perceived vulnerabilities and performance issues — has faded as decision makers realize what an “open source database” really is and what it offers. What is an open source database?

I’m a big fan of monolithic architecture. Writing code is hard enough without each function call requiring a network request, and that’s before considering the investment in observability, RPC frameworks, and dev environments you need to be productive in a microservice environment.

Transforming an application from monolith to microservices-based architecture can be daunting, and knowing where to start can be difficult. Because monolithic applications combine database, client-side interfaces, and server-side application elements in a single executable, they’re difficult to understand, even for their own administrators.

I’ve heard the opinion from many technical leaders that it is reasonable to expect a new hire to take upto 6 months to learn about the code, the domain, and the architecture before they become fully productive.
