For Monolith vs Microservices - 1 Why some companies still prefer to go for Monolith architecture? Biggest advantage of using Monolith Architecture: We will further look on what exactly is the biggest advantage of using Monolith Services over the Microservices   If your application is small and not subjected to large scale in terms of complexity and user base then the development and deployment is pretty easy when compared to Microservices, even if you are planning to use cloud technologies and decided to host the Website and Services separately the Monolith approach would be ideal for this scenario. The developers of fictional software "PinPointer" would have a very quick time in developing and deploying the application, the initial maintainability is very easy, having said that the maintenance become tedious when the application grows in size  Disadvantages of Monolith Architecture: Where exacly the Monolith approach fails?  Now our fictional software "PinPointer"

Today we are going to see about the Monolith services vs Micro services and what are the key differences between them , advantages over one another, and finally specific purpose for each one. Monolith Services:  In simple terms, Monolith services are widely used technology in current software world, a traditional monolith service essentially runs in a single platform, a single stack which holds all the business logic and data access logic placed in a single service, also in most cases the UI, Business Logic and Data access layers are tightly coupled and deployed in a single machine, this may be available to scale but this is strictly stick to its own stack / platform Advantages of Monolith:   We can really get a lot of advantages for using Monolith services, * Single code base (This is an advantage until the code base isn't growing enormously) * No need to talk to other internal services to do a particular task as everything is available within * Single stack / platform is neede
