Modular Monolith with Independently Deployable Modules - Java 21 and Spring Boot 3

Modular monoliths are great, we can have most of the microservices benefits without all the complexity they bring.
There is unfortunately one major thing that is a tremendous advantage of microservices and is missing though - independent deployments.
Can we have a modular monolith and still have independently deployable units (modules)?
Turns out that yes, we can, and it is surprisingly simple!
We will do this using nothing fancy - just Java 21, Spring Boot 3 and plain old Maven.
Let's go!
