+For designing and implementing distributed systems, I really like
the framework presented in the book *The Tao of Microservices*. Web services
should almost be provocatively small, most communication between services
should be asynchronous. It is important to reason and respect separation of concerns.
You should at all cost avoid building a distributed monolith with entangled dependencies.
+I also like the idea of designing systems from first principles with defining the

+However, I have started exploring the idea of "modular monolith", I believe this to be the most
+sane approach to building software yet. It keeps the communication simple between modules,
