Why the Modern Monolith with the TALL stack beats microservices
In recent years, the term ‘microservices’ has become almost synonymous with ‘scalability’. Many companies assume that a complex, distributed architecture with a decoupled frontend is the only way forward. At Dolphiq, however, we see a different reality: the Modern Monolith with the Laravel TALL stack is a better alternative for the vast majority of software products. Not out of nostalgia, but from a pragmatic focus on cost, speed, and manageability. The Laravel TALL stack offers exactly the balance most projects need: powerful enough for complex applications, simple enough to build quickly and keep well-maintained.
Software Development in the Age of AI
Much has been written in recent years about how AI is accelerating software development. And it’s true. Tools like Claude, GitHub, Copilot and other AI-driven environments reduce the time needed to write code, set up test scenarios, and handle repetitive tasks. But for us at Dolphiq, that’s not the most interesting part of the story.
We’d rather ask a different question: what will you do with the time AI gives back to you?
Custom Software Instead of Standard Software
You’re looking for new software for your company. The choice seems simple: a tried-and-tested standard solution used by thousands of businesses, or having custom software developed. The first option feels safe and straightforward, while the second might seem risky and expensive. But is that perception actually accurate?
In practice, at Dolphiq we often see organizations struggling with standard software. They start with the best intentions but soon run into limitations. In this article, we explain why custom software is not only a better choice for many companies, but often the smarter long-term investment as well.
