Microservices architecture
Building a monolithic app, even subdivided in different layers is not the only path... Recently, I discovered the Microservices architecture. This allow to separate the whole application itself in autonomous part of sub application. It has pros & cons. You can see this website for an advanced comparison. Martin fowler speaks about it: http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html . Paul Mooney has also started an interesting series on this kind of architecture. Here are the first two parts: http://insidethecpu.com/2015/07/17/microservices-in-c-part-1-building-and-testing/ . http://insidethecpu.com/2015/07/31/microservices-in-c-part-2-consistent-message-delivery/ .
