Monolith to microservices
A monolithic architecture refers to a traditional approach in software design where an entire application is built as a single, unified code base. In a monolithic architecture, all components and modules of the application are interconnected and interdependent. This means that the code for the user interface, business logic, and data access layers, among others, is tightly integrated into a single executable or deployment unit.
In a monolithic architecture, the entire application is developed and maintained within a single code base, making it a cohesive unit. All modules and components within the application are closely connected and share the same resources, such as databases and servers; therefore, the entire application is deployed as a single unit, making updates and releases a coordinated process. One advantage of the monolithic architecture is that it often uses a uniform technology stack throughout the entire system; the main disadvantage is that...
