Deep Dive: Modular Monoliths in .NET - Steve "ardalis" Smith

Monolithic applications are often deployed as a single, large unit, which can lead to a tangled and unmanageable structure known as a Big Ball of Mud. However, a modular monolith approach breaks the application into smaller, logical modules that operate independently. This structure maintains the benefits of distributed systems like microservices but avoids the complexity and overhead of managing separate deployments.

In this advanced course, "Deep Dive: Modular Monoliths in .NET," you will build upon the basics you learned in the Getting Started course of this series. You'll dive deeper into Modular Monolith patterns and learn how to apply these advanced techniques to add new features to the RiverBooks e-commerce site. This course is designed to help you create well-structured, maintainable, and scalable applications while keeping the simplicity of a monolithic deployment.

"Modular monoliths in .NET offer a pragmatic approach to building scalable applications by structuring code into cohesive modules within a single deployable unit, balancing complexity and maintainability."
