Microservices for the Benefits, Not the Hustle
Why scalability alone doesn't justify microservices — and how to design them so you actually reap the benefits of lower coupling, enforced cohesion, and reuse.

What Kiss & Solid stands for
KISS
Keep It Simple, Stupid
The simplest solution that works is almost always the right one. Resist unnecessary complexity and over-engineering, because every line of code is a liability until proven otherwise.
Five design principles
The SOLID principles have been around for decades, and not every letter applies equally to every codebase. But the spirit behind them — clear boundaries, low coupling, code that's easy to change — still shapes how good software gets built.
