Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Deployments of Monolithic Architecture

The video tutorial discusses the vertical considerations of monolithic architecture, focusing on deployment challenges. It highlights the difficulties of implementing changes in a single code base, especially in large and complex applications. The risks associated with monolithic systems, such as the impact of a single bug, are explained. The tutorial also covers the development process, emphasizing the long and difficult path from code commit to production, which involves manual testing and maintenance challenges.

What is a key characteristic of monolithic architecture?

• It is easy to deploy.

• It consists of multiple independent modules.

• It is based on microservices.

• It has a single code base.

Why is it difficult to implement changes in monolithic architectures?

• It allows for easy scaling.

• It uses a distributed system approach.

• Any change requires a full deployment of the application.

• Changes can be made independently in each module.

What is a major risk associated with monolithic architectures?

• A single bug can bring down the entire application.

• It is easy to isolate bugs.

• Bugs are automatically fixed.

• A single bug can affect only one module.

What challenge do large developer teams face in monolithic architectures?

• The path from code commit to production is long and difficult.

• They have no need for manual testing.

• The path from code commit to production is short and simple.

• They can easily manage multiple code bases.

Why are monolithic applications difficult to maintain?

• They are small and simple.

• They have multiple independent code bases.

• They are large and complex.

• They require no testing.
