मोनोलिथिक आर्किटेक्चर अनुप्रयोग एक एकीकृत युनिटच्या रूपात तयार करते, तर मायक्रोसर्व्हिसेज आर्किटेक्चर अनेक लहान, स्वतंत्र सेवांच्या रूपात तयार करते. प्रत्येकाचे जटिलता, स्केलेबिलिटी, डिप्लॉयमेंट आणि टीम संघटनाभोवती महत्त्वपूर्ण ट्रेड-ऑफ आहेत.
मोनोलिथ विरुद्ध मायक्रोसर्व्हिसेज
MONOLITH → the whole application as ONE deployable unit (one codebase, one process):
✓ SIMPLE → easier to develop, test, deploy, and debug initially; no distributed complexity
✗ at scale → harder to scale parts independently; large codebase gets complex; one
deploy for everything; a bug can affect all
MICROSERVICES → many small, INDEPENDENT services (each owns a capability + its data):
✓ independent SCALING, DEPLOYMENT, and teams; tech flexibility; fault isolation
✗ DISTRIBUTED COMPLEXITY → network calls, data consistency across services, deployment/
operations complexity, debugging across services, more infrastructure
