Let’s talk about what’s actually happening in the Pakistani Tech Market

Everyone loves throwing around buzzwords like microservices, containerization, and event-driven architecture — but here’s the real story from inside Pakistani software houses and corporates:

Most teams are still building monoliths. And honestly? It makes sense. Why?
Tight deadlines
Limited resources
Small teams
Clients who want results, not architecture diagrams

Monoliths are faster to build, easier to deploy, and cheaper to maintain if you know what you're doing.
But let’s be real, they become a nightmare when the project grows, new devs join, and no one knows which module breaks what.

So, some companies (usually banks, telcos, or SaaS startups with funding) go for microservices. Which sounds great… until:
Devs don't version APIs properly
There’s no proper DevOps culture
Logs are all over the place
Services fail silently because "error handling will be added later"

So what’s the solution?
Start with a modular monolith.
Build clean code. Clear boundaries. Separation of concerns.
Then split when it hurts. That’s the right time to go micro.
Don’t force microservices just to sound cool.

At the end of the day, architecture is not about trends; it’s about what actually works for your team and product.

Curious to hear — what’s your team using these days and why?
