Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - When to Use Monolithic Architecture

The video discusses the advantages of monotech architecture, highlighting its simplicity and ease of use for small teams and startups. It is ideal for applications with predictable scale and complexity, proof of concept projects, and teams lacking microservices expertise. The video contrasts monotech with microservices, emphasizing the challenges of the latter without skilled developers. An e-commerce example illustrates when to choose monotech, focusing on starting simple and evolving as needed.

What is one of the main advantages of monotech architecture compared to microservices?

• It is harder to scale vertically.

• It is easier to deploy as a single unit.

• It is more complex to deploy.

• It requires more skilled developers.

Why might a startup with a small team choose monotech architecture?

• To handle complex business logic.

• To follow the latest technology trends.

• To avoid the complexity of microservices.

• To require more technical expertise.

In what scenario is monotech architecture particularly useful?

• When developing a highly complex application.

• For applications with unpredictable scaling needs.

• When the team has extensive microservices experience.

• For proof of concept projects.

What is a key consideration when deciding to use monotech architecture for an e-commerce application?

• The need for microservices expertise.

• The requirement for complex business logic.

• The expected number of concurrent users.

• The need for horizontal scaling.

What is a benefit of starting with a simple architecture and evolving it over time?

• It limits the potential for scaling.

• It requires more initial resources.

• It allows for rapid iteration and adaptation.

• It is more difficult to manage changes.
