From 8 Microservices to 1 Monolith
$18K/month AWS bill collapsed to $800
Team 2 engineers · 6 weeks
Problem
Series B startup with $5M funding running 8 microservices for a CRUD app serving 1,200 users. 4-day deployment cycles, 2 DevOps engineers just to keep servers running.
Solution
Collapsed 8 services into a single well-built Laravel monolith. Removed unnecessary abstractions, deleted the ContactFactory that just returned new Contact().
Results
AWS bill dropped from $18K to $800/month. Deployment time reduced to 5 minutes. Same features, 10x faster development.
