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.
