• Mailgun lowers free-tier API from 10k to 625 emails per month - This is pretty bad news for any early stage startups using Mailgun, without a decent free tier, it's impossible to get started because you can't even send out signup/welcome emailsnews.ycombinator.com #

• Monoliths are the future - I personally quite like the "double monolith", one for the website and one for the api, but I think there are some really large deployments like AWS for instance, where using microservices makes a lot of sense, but it's tricky to pull off operationally because as the organisation changes shape, the code base needs to drastically change too, and probably a lot of teams just can't keep up, monoliths are more rigid but they don't crumble as easilychangelog.com #

• Pretty epic HN thread on the monoliths article from earlier, some useful notes from people with experience with microservicesnews.ycombinator.com #
