Anti-Patterns | Vibgrate

Common mistakes in software architecture and how to avoid them.

Attempting to migrate an entire system at once instead of incrementally

Using patterns or practices without understanding why they work

Splitting a monolith into microservices that are still tightly coupled and must be deployed together

Using a familiar technology for every problem regardless of fit

Dead code that no one dares to remove because they don't understand it

Adding new features or improvements during a migration instead of focusing on parity

Rejecting perfectly good external solutions in favor of building custom ones

Optimizing code or architecture before understanding actual performance requirements

Multiple services directly sharing the same database tables

Making a single change requires modifications across many different classes or modules
