Today I stumped upon this discussion on Reddit about microservice. I really love the term “Cthulhu Architecture” one user used to describe a monolith which falsely presents itself as a microservice. Cthulhu, which is a monster which spreads and wraps it tentacles around everything, which are devotedly followed by cultists, and touching anywhere of the monster is the job of a single maddening developer who the whole company knows and fears.
