On: Well-Architected Monoliths Are Okay

Not in Go, but Discourse is a monolithic rails app on Github which I've used as an example for my own employment's code base in the past. Another example is Gitlab's code base (also Rails).

[artursapek → lucidone]

Every Rails app is a monolithic Rails app

[lucidone → artursapek]

Not necessarily, but generally (99%) yes. It's both an advantage and disadvantage of the framework. Use the right tool for the job :).

[debaserab2 → artursapek]

Not at all true - plenty of rails app's are just a REST API for a service

I think what he meant is that Rails as a Framework doesn't push you to implement modularity internally. The convention chosen to organize your files pretty much guarantee a monolith.
