In this interactive workshop, participants will explore Spring Modulith - a modern framework that enables developers to build modular, maintainable applications while preserving the simplicity of monolithic deployment. With real-life scenarios, live coding, and focused exercises, this session empowers engineers and architects to transition from tangled monoliths to well-structured modular systems using Spring Modulith. Ideal for those aiming to improve modularity without diving head-first into the complexity of microservices.
Monolithic architectures are not dead—but they need a serious upgrade. Enter Spring Modulith, a powerful toolkit built on Spring Boot that enables architectural clarity, separation of concerns, and a smooth transition path towards modular design.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll:
- Understand the limitations of classic monoliths and the pitfalls of rushed microservices adoption
- Learn the principles behind Modular Monoliths and why they matter in complex domains
- Build your first modular application using Spring Boot and Spring Modulith
- Define and enforce module boundaries
- Explore inter-module communication (sync and async via events)
- Test modules in isolation to ensure reliability and fast feedback
- Generate C4 architecture documentation with built-in tools
- Incrementally refactor a legacy monolith into a modern modular application
Through guided coding sessions and interactive discussions, participants will walk away with practical skills and a strong architectural mindset to modernize Java applications the smart way.
