Jimmy Bogard joins Pod Rocket to talk about making monoliths more modular, why boundaries matter, and how to avoid turning systems into distributed monoliths. From refactoring techniques and database migrations at scale to lessons from Stripe and WordPress, he shares practical ways to balance architecture choices. We also explore how tools like Claude and Lambda fit into modern development and what teams should watch for with latency, transactions, and growing complexity.
