From Startup to Scale: Robust Architecture

Architecture Matters from Day One

"Move fast and break things" is a popular startup mantra, but breaking your core database structure is a nightmare. In our inaugural webinar, "From Startup to Scale: Robust Architecture," we discussed how early-stage companies can balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability.

We covered the critical "pivot points" where a monolith usually needs to be broken up, and why choosing a trendy tech stack without understanding the hiring implications can be a fatal mistake for a growing company.

Core Concepts Discussed

• Modular Monoliths: You don't need microservices on day one. A well-structured monolith is often the best choice for startups.
• Scalability vs. Performance: Understanding the difference and when to optimize for each.
• Technical Debt: When it's okay to take it on, and how to pay it back before it bankrupts your engineering team.
