Stability Through Separation
Designing a system where components (modules) operate semi-independently is the cornerstone of modern resilience. When one module needs updating or replacement, the core system remains unaffected.
The BonusModu Philosophy in Architecture
Think of every new feature as a potential 'BonusModu.' If your architecture is rigid, adding that module requires rebuilding significant parts of the application. If it's modular, you simply plug in the new component via a stable interface.
Interface Contracts
For modules to communicate effectively, strict interface contracts must be maintained. When a vendor updates their software, if your external modules adhere to the published interface, they are less likely to break, preserving the value of any attached bonuses.
Long-Term Maintenance Savings
While initial modular design can be more complex, the long-term savings in maintenance and the ability to rapidly adopt new technologies (or new bonus features) make it the superior choice for scalable operations.
