User Pain Points
Monolithic systems make it slow and expensive to add new features, channels, or products.
Scaling requires over-provisioning entire platforms instead of just the components under load.
Large, tightly coupled codebases increase technical debt, upgrade risk, and long-term maintenance costs.
1
Break the platform into independent, reusable modules that can be developed, deployed, and scaled separately.
2
Use modular services or domains (e.g., auth, billing, catalog, analytics) with clear interfaces to enable selective scaling.
3
Standardize module patterns and shared components to speed up parallel development and reduce duplication.
Insights
Organizations adopting modular architectures report double-digit infrastructure savings through targeted scaling and better resource utilization.
Modular platforms achieve faster time-to-market and easier experimentation, enabling growth without constant replatforming.
Over time, modular design lowers total cost of ownership by simplifying maintenance, upgrades, and technology replacements.
