Modular Architectures

Application architectures must continually evolve and grow not only to meet future needs but to stay relevant and secure in an ecosystem that is continually changing.

Because of the need for constant growth a monolithic architecture will eventually become very difficult to maintain in both size and complexity. For this reason modular architectures make more sense for even the smallest applications to be able to not only manage components independently, but to allow for upgrade and replacement of different components over time.
