authenticator and concurrent systems: lessons learned (#653)
Architecture Decisions
Every system is the sum of its architectural decisions. Some decisions are reversible (which framework to use), others are irreversible (which database engine to choose). Focus your deliberation accordingly.
The Monolith-First Approach
Start with a well-structured monolith. Extract services only when you have:
- Clear bounded contexts
- Independent scaling requirements
- Team boundaries that align with service boundaries
Event-Driven Communication
Instead of synchronous HTTP calls between services:
Service A → Message Bus → Service B
→ Service C
→ Service D
Benefits:
- Decoupling: Services don't need to know about each other
- Resilience: Failed consumers retry independently
- Scalability: Add consumers without changing producers
Data Ownership
Each service owns its data. No shared databases. If Service B needs data from Service A, it either:
- Subscribes to Service A's events and maintains a local projection
- Makes an API call (with caching and circuit breakers)
- Uses a shared read model (CQRS pattern)

In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Vae humani generis. Ut eleifend mauris et risus ultrices egestas. Eposs sunt solems de superbus fortis. Mauris dapibus risus quis suscipit vulputate.
