Breaking the Monolith: Optimizing FileMaker with Distributed Architecture

Often, as FileMaker developers, we default to solving every problem within the FileMaker environment simply because it’s what we know best. However, it’s crucial to recognize that while FileMaker can handle a wide range of tasks, it might not always be the most efficient choice for every function.
