Why do large PHP monoliths eventually require modularization?

Senior PHP
Quick Answer Large monoliths grow with tight coupling between modules. Features slow down because every change risks breaking other parts. Teams step on each other. Testing becomes slow. Modularization introduces clear boundaries: separate modules with defined interfaces. Modules can be developed and tested independently. This is a stepping stone toward microservices without the distributed systems overhead upfront.

Answer

Monoliths become hard to maintain. Modularization or microservices improve scalability, deployment, and testability.
