Architectural Modularity vs Service Granularity

Modularity and granularity are very much different. Modularity is about the breaking apart of systems into smaller deployment units, whereas granularity is about the size of those separate deployment units.
In this session Mark will describe the technical and business drivers for architectural modularity and shows various approaches for breaking apart systems. He would also explain how to achieve the right level of granularity for those separate parts by introducing various disintegration drivers and integration drivers that we can use to not only justify service granularity, but also get it right.
