Modulith VS. Microservices

This document contains a tabular comparison of the Modulithic and Microservice Architecture approach under certain aspects. Many of them can be achieved or influenced in both styles, but to different degrees and using different means. No claims of exhaustiveness.

Dynamic Configuration Properties in Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

TL;DR

• Use @ConfigurationProperties and always get state from the bean.
• The Environment can change at runtime and Spring Cloud does this for you using RefreshEvent.
• Changes are propagated to beans in Spring Cloud in 2 ways (@ConfigurationProperties and @RefreshScope).
• If you care about the state of @ConfigurationProperties being consistent on concurrent access, put it or the consumer @Bean in @RefreshScope.

Synchronous RESTful communication between Microservices is an anti-pattern ... you seem to being saying that the Netflix architecture (hystrix, eureka, ribbon, ..) is broken ... hmm what would @benjchristensen say?
