🌍 1. Real-World Context

Imagine DevSync grew massively 🚀

• 10,000+ students taking courses daily
• 100+ mentors uploading content
• 1,000+ payments/hour
• Separate teams: auth, course, payment, chat

Your monolithic backend now has:

• 50K+ lines of TypeScript
• 10 engineers pushing daily commits
• CI/CD taking 30 minutes per deployment
• Sometimes, small changes break other modules

This is the pain point that triggers the move.

💣 Why Monolith Starts to Break (Detailed View)

🧩 1. Tight Coupling & Low Agility

In a monolith:

• All modules share the same memory, database, and codebase.
• If you change something in the course module (e.g. schema change), it might break payments.
• Everyone depends on everyone. You can’t deploy independently.
