2 - Introduction to Cell Architectures
Modern Microservice and modulith architectures are based on the premise of (near) unlimited scale of the resources upon which they are built. While technically a well-architected solution can horizontally scale, sometimes you need to ask if you should.

Cell architectures provide a pattern for deliberately deploying multiple instances of your application, each serving only a subset of your clients, allowing you to meet non-functional requirements such as resiliency, availability, scalability, isolation, and cost management.
In this presentation, we will discuss the Cell architecture pattern, its benefits and downsides, and ways to adapt your thinking about application architecture as it evolves.
