25. How to Choose Software Architecture (Monolith, Microservices, Event-Driven)

Описание: Monolith vs Microservices vs Event-Driven Architecture — how do you REALLY choose the right one?

Most developers blindly follow trends without understanding system size, team structure, scalability, performance, and business stage. In this video, I break down 8 critical factors that should guide your architecture decisions — using real-world examples, engineering logic, and system design principles.

This is NOT a hype-driven video. This is about engineering judgment.

📌 What you’ll learn in this video:

When Monolithic architecture is the best choice

Why Layered (N-Tier) architecture is underrated

When Microservices actually make sense (and when they don’t)

How Event-Driven architecture handles scale and traffic spikes

How team size, deployment strategy, and business phase impact architecture

Real-world examples (Startup, Enterprise, Fintech, IoT, E-commerce)

🧩 Architecture Types Covered:

Monolithic Architecture

Layered / N-Tier Architecture

Microservices Architecture

Event-Driven Architecture

Hybrid Architectures (Microservices + Events)

👨‍💻 Who is this video for?

Software Engineers

Backend Developers

System Design Interview Candidates

Tech Leads & Architects

Startup Founders & CTOs

🚀 Key takeaway:

There is no “best” architecture — only the right one for your context.

If you’re preparing for system design interviews or designing real-world applications, this video will save you from overengineering mistakes.
