## Microservice for New Applications
One common advise to start a new solution is **always to start with a monolith**, keep it modular and split into microservices once the monolith becomes a problem. This makes your progress fast in the beginning especially if your team is small and you don't want to deal with challanges of the microservice architecture.
One common advise to start a new solution is **always to start with a monolith**, keep it modular and split into microservices once the monolith becomes a problem. This makes your progress fast in the beginning especially if your team is small and you don't want to deal with challenges of the microservice architecture.
However, developing such a well-modular application can be a problem since it is **hard to keep modules isolated** from each other as you would do it for microservices (see [Stefan Tilkov's article](https://martinfowler.com/articles/dont-start-monolith.html) about that). Microservice architecture naturally forces you to develop well isolated services, but in a modular monolithic application it's easy to tight couple modules to each other and design **weak module boundaries** and API contracts.
* **DTO** classes are used to **transfer data** between the *presentation layer* and the *application layer*. See the [Data Transfer Objects document](../../Data-Transfer-Objects.md) for more details.
* `BookDto` is used to transfer book data to the presentation layer in order to show the book information on the UI.
* `BookDto` is derived from the `AuditedEntityDto<Guid>` which has audit properties just like the `Book` class defined above.
* `[AutoMapFrom(typeof(Book))]` is used to create AutoMapper mapping from the `Book` class to the `BookDto` class. In this way, you get automatic convertion of `Book` objects to `BookDto` objects (instead of manually copy all properties).
