If you want to excel in your development career you need to learn the difference between monolithic Architecture and Microservices Architecture. Today we will cover monolithic architecture and its pros and cons in PART 1.

Microservices Architecture is highly in demand in the industry right now for making the scalable application but before it you need to know the difference and cons of monolithic architecture

Monolithic Architecture

Monolithic architecture is a traditional approach to software development, where the entire application is built as a single, large codebase. All components, such as the user interface, business logic, and database, are tightly coupled and run in a single process. In this architecture, changes to one part of the application often affect the entire system.

Advantages of Monolithic Architecture in Node.js:

- Easy to develop and deploy: Monolithic architecture is straightforward to build, test, and deploy since it requires only one deployment unit.
- Simple to manage: Monolithic architecture is easy to manage since all components run in a single process.

Disadvantages of Monolithic Architecture in Node.js:

  • Difficulty in scaling: Scaling a monolithic architecture can be challenging since it requires the entire application to be scaled, even if only one component needs to be scaled.
    - Not suitable for large applications: Monolithic architecture is not suitable for large applications as the codebase grows, making it increasingly complex and difficult to maintain.

In the next part, we will discuss the Microservices Architecture which is highly important for making Scalable applications for handling millions of users in real-time.
