There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. Both valuing design and striving for continuous delivery are necessary. So we need to make it part of everything we do.

A system that has the ability to easily scale resources to meet the increasing workload without affecting the performance is known as a scalable system. To make an easy-to-scale system, it is crucial to have an evolutionary way of thinking about the software development cycle.

Traditional monolithic architectures are built around the concept of large applications that are self-contained, independent, and incorporate myriad capabilities. As developers move to microservice-centric designs, components are broken into independent services to be developed, deployed, and maintained separately. Easier to develop.
