Monolithic architecture

Monolithic architecture is a software architecture with all the functions and components of the application in a single execution unit. In the monolithic architecture, all application modules are integrate and run in a single process on the same server. A typical monolithic architecture cannot be reused in any way. independent because the application components are designed to work closely. Monolithic architecture has several drawbacks in terms of of scalability and flexibility, but it has some advantages.

Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture is an approach to architecture for the design of a software system based on the creation of small, independent services that communicate with each other through appropriately defined standard interfaces. In this architecture, each service is focused on execution. of a specific task, improving the module and flexibility throughout the system design.
