Stefan Tilkov is one of those pragmatic, experienced technologists that I listen to a lot when formulating my own writing. We've been talking recently about the applicability of microservices, and he disagreed with much of the recent talk I've heard in favor of a monolith-first strategy. So he's kindly written a short article arguing that you should be more inclined to begin with microservices, since monoliths rarely work out to be as well structured as you'd hope.
