When all functionality in a system has to be deployed together, we consider it a monolith.
Monolithic architecture means all of the code is deployed as a single process.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
|---|---|
Visible Business Flow | Higher Cost of Scaling |
Straightforward Monitoring | Single Point of Failure |
Code Reuse | Coupling and Lack of Boundaries |
Simpler Deployment Pipeline | The Difficulty of New Deployments |
Microservices architecture enables to develop a single application as a bunch of small services which have their own process and communicate with each other with lightweight mechanisms.
These services can be written in different languages, and they can use different data storage technologies. They can also be managed by different teams.
