From Chaos to Cohesion: Building Modular Monoliths in the Real World by Patrick Baumgartner SIO26

This talk addresses the challenges teams face when seeking better structure in their applications that already have an established codebase. The speaker explores the importance of identifying boundaries, safely introducing modules, and maintaining clarity through tests and documentation while using Spring Modulith as a tool. The session emphasizes a step-by-step approach to improving an existing monolith, prioritizing realistic progress over complete rewrites. Attendees will gain actionable insights on how to initiate and sustain this modularity journey in their own development environments.
