The small applications with a single function are called Microservices. When combined, they form bulky and more complex applications. Without significantly affecting large applications, the microservice-based architectures are handling smaller components individually. The architecture of segments was monolithic when founded. While Monolithic architectures consist of a unit with all parts connected and Segments journey from Monolithic to Microservices and back.

Adfolks LLC Segments journey from Monolithic to Microservices and back
MONOLITHIC TO MICROSERVICES AND BACK The segment is a customer data start-up used by frontline customers such as Time, Crate & Barrel, Gap, IBM, New Relic, IBM, and Levi's. It enables businesses to view all customer data in one place before using it for sales, analysis, support, and more. When they struggled with old and complex infrastructure, they decided to modernize using microservices. However, they soon encountered a series of complexities only solvable by returning to monolithic.
The problem with microservices As Segment became more and more successful and incorporated additional external services, the operating costs of supporting microservices was difficult to bear. It was found that a routing connection failure resulted in the accumulation of requests when the microservice-based application attempted to resolve the problem. The system attempted to compensate with automatic scaling, which forwarded requests to connection ports which are were used by other clients. These ports were clogged, resulting in poorly system performance.
Switch Back To Monolithic To make matters worse, requests exceeded the storage capacity of the system, causing some of the data to be lost. This was unacceptable. For Segment, the only answer was to switch the back to monolithic. The decision came with a new architecture that considered the vulnerabilities of scaling up as the business grew.
Return to monolithic Monolithic architectures consist of a unit with all parts connected. Theoretically, this offers superior performance and efficiency because all the necessary parts are optimized for collaboration. However, this makes it difficult in terms of updates and maintenance.
Expert's Review After Returning To Monolithic “There is now a single code repository and all destination workers are using the same version of the shared library. Large groups of developers can manage the spike in loads, so we are no longer looking for destinations where small amounts of loads are processed."
