Decoupled Architectures
Decouple your application for maximum flexibility!
Let's start with monolithic architecture
A monolithic architecture is a great starting point for a project because it enables fast development speed thanks to the single code base.
Advantages of monolithic architectures
Simplified deployment and good time-to-market
All the code is in one place and there’s only one artifact that needs to be released and managed.
Cost-effective initial setup
Starting with a monolithic architecture reduces the initial investment in both infrastructure and Human Resources
Simplified testing and easier debugging
A single centralized unit can be tested end-to-end in simpler and faster way then a distributed application.
The whole code in one place so it’s easier to debug issues and follow the flow of the execution.
Get the most out of your monolithic architecture!
As Chris Richardson explains the monolith is not an anti-pattern and it’s important to make the most of it.
Optimize the development process
Automate with pipelines
Enhance team autonomy with modularization and Cross-Functional Teams
But sometimes an application can outgrow its monolithic architecture and become an obstacle to rapid, frequent and reliable software delivery.
When this occurs, you should consider migrating to microservices.
What is a decoupled architecture?
An architectural design approach aimed at improving software flexibility, scalability, maintainability.
It consists in minimizing dependencies between software components.
Why a decoupled architecture?
Flexibility
We can choose and combine the most useful technologies for the project purpose, thanks to the separation of software components.
New elements can be added or others can be updated without affecting the entire system.
Scalability
Unlimited horizontal and vertical scalability.
We can distribute resources more efficiently, have a better handling of high traffic and loading.
Performance
Performance and user experience can greatly benefit from decoupling software components. Teams can create engaging experiences with more freedom. The speed of releasing changes is very high.
Cost-effective development and maintenance
Decoupled architectures unleash the power of parallelization.
Multiple teams can work simultaneously, in a containerized way, reducing risks and costs.
Security
Working in isolation minimize the impact of breaches. We can add security measures at various levels to protect sensitive informations.
Future-proofing
We can integrate new technologies into the system to keep it competitive.
In decoupled architectures we can experiment and approach new solutions more easily.
Microservices drawbacks
Overall complexity
If not properly managed this architecture results in slower development speed and bad application performance.
Managing a large number of microservices requires robust deployment pipelines.
Infrastructure costs
Great scalability and flexibility but also increased infrastructure costs and operational overhead.
A large number of services can require a significant investment in tools and infrastructure.
Hard debugging
Each service has its own set of logs.
Tracing an issue across multiple services could be complex.
Microservices aren’t the best options for any projects
Migrating from a monolithic to a microservices architecture when needed it’s the best choice
Selected case studies
Strapi, Next.js, Decoupled, Continuous Integration
VIVO Concerti - A digital platform for artistic management and live events
We designed and developed the official website for VIVO Concerti, a leading entity in the Italian music scene. Our goal was to support the presentation of the artistic roster and the operational management of the events calendar.
The platform is built with a decoupled architecture, featuring a Next.js frontend and a self-hosted CMS configured with custom logic to promptly reflect the real dynamics of an organization that manages tours, venues, presales, and frequent updates.
This was a highly specialized project in which the editorial structure, performance, and flexibility were shaped around specific operational needs that could not be solved with standard solutions.

Flexform - Institutional portal and digital platform
For Flexform, a prestigious Made in Italy manufacturer with a long history, we designed and developed a bespoke digital portal with a decoupled architecture based on Drupal.
Unlike a traditional CMS, the site is built on an intricate system that connects content, product data, and visual assets through display rules that are defined and analyzed in detail. Each component is the result of consistent, controlled management, which is designed to ensure accuracy and robustness.
We oversee the ongoing governance of the digital product, managing evolutionary roadmaps, integrations, and stakeholder coordination in a highly complex environment.
The project was developed with a focus on performance, accessibility, and security - key elements for establishing a solid and reliable international presence.
