[Meetup Online] Microservices vs. Monoliths: How to Choose the Right Architecture for Your Business w/ Adriano Mota

When launching a new development project, teams face critical decisions regarding infrastructure, databases, and languages. However, how we organize code modules, addressing scalability, resilience, and maintainability is often the most consequential architectural choice for long-term success.

In this session, Adriano Mota joins the CNCG Panamá to provide a practical framework for choosing between monolithic and microservices architectures. We will move beyond the hype to discuss when microservices provide a competitive edge and when they introduce unnecessary complexity that can compromise business agility.

Key discussion points:

• Beyond Non-Functional Requirements: How scalability, low coupling, and continuous delivery have become central architectural concerns from day one.

• The Complexity Trade-off: Evaluating if adopting microservices too early adds volatility to the development process instead of value.

• Decision Framework: Practical criteria to help you assess which architecture fits your current project stage before complexity becomes unmanageable.

• Strategic Agility: Understanding how architectural choices impact the speed and quality of the value delivered to the business.

Join us for a grounded, technical exploration of how to align your software architecture with your operational and business goals.
