summary
Argues that scaling demands clear boundaries and self‑service tooling, not diagrams: Netflix moves from a monolith to 100+ Cassandra clusters behind APIs, switches all European traffic monthly between Dublin and Virginia to prove symmetry, and enforces you build it you run it and act in Netflix best interest to create high‑trust cells. Shows a Go simulator that runs ~100,000 microservice goroutines with in‑memory channels to explore architectures and tradeoffs for breaking monoliths.
