Architectural Tuning

Monolithic Architecture

• Monolithic architecture represents a traditional approach to software design where an entire application is treated as a single, tightly-integrated unit.
• All components and modules are interconnected and interdependent within a single codebase.
• The entire application is typically deployed as a single unit.

Monolithic Architecture

Challenges of Monolithic Architecture

• Limited Scalability
• Technology Stack Limitations
• Deployment Bottlenecks
• Limited Fault Isolation

Software Modularization

Software Modularization

• Modularization is the process of breaking down the overall functionality of software into smaller, autonomous, and reusable parts called modules.
• The goal is to achieve better organization, maintainability, and code clarity.
• The modules are then combined to form a complete application.
