In defense of simple architectures

This blog post makes a case for simple, monolithic software architectures, using the success of companies like Wave and Stack Overflow as evidence. It argues that for most applications, even those with high traffic, a straightforward CRUD monolith is more effective, cheaper, and easier to manage than complex microservice-based systems. The author laments the lack of conference talks on simple architectures and shares practical insights from their own experience with a Python/Postgres monolith.
