Monolithic versus microservices
In this section, we will discuss the difference between monolithic architecture and microservices architecture.
Before talking about microservices and their different benefits, we need to understand the difference between monolithic architecture and microservices architecture.
Monolithic architecture
There are two dominant styles of software architecture among software developers and architects today. In monolith architecture, components are coupled to each other and distributed as a single package. But with this architecture, we have several advantages to consider. Development is really simple because all the code is in one place, so it’s easy to find things. The deployment is also simple because when you come to deploy it to production, well, there’s just one application to update, and the communication between the components takes place in the same process. It is, therefore, very easy to plan communication between components...
