  • Monolithic architecture means all of the code is deployed as a single process.

BenefitsDrawbacks

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

  • 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.
