Scaling Your Artifacts with Your Team: Hypergrowth Challenges Beyond Microservices

In the fast-paced world of software engineering, the term "microservices" has become a buzzword, promising agility, scalability, and architectural freedom. But it is not a path without trade-offs, and it does not always lead to a happy ending. How do you effectively navigate the challenges of hypergrowth without sacrificing stability and efficiency?
In "Scaling Your Artifacts with Your Team," Davi de Castro Reis and Italo Santos delve into the complexities beyond microservices, offering invaluable insights and practical strategies for companies grappling with scaling issues. Drawing from their extensive experience in the tech industry, the authors dissect the hype surrounding microservices and explore practical architectures that may better suit the needs of growing organizations.
From decoupled design to communication patterns, the book examines various approaches to scaling software artifacts while maintaining stability and performance. By examining in depth both the people and technical dynamics in successful and unsuccessful implementations, readers gain a deeper understanding of the nuanced challenges involved in scaling technology stacks.
Contrary to the prevailing belief that microservices are the ultimate solution, the authors argue for a more nuanced approach, advocating for architectures that strike a balance between flexibility and scalability. Through discussions on macroservices and well-sized services, readers learn how to adapt their architecture to suit the unique needs of their organization.
Distilled from real-world experience and packed with practical advice, "Scaling Your Artifacts with Your Team" equips software engineers and team leads with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the complexities of hypergrowth.
Whether you're a startup on the brink of explosive growth or an established company facing scalability challenges, this book serves as your indispensable guide to scaling your artifacts and your team for success.
