Monolithic and microservice architecture difference and how will you migrate.

Question

Accepted Answer

Monolithic architecture is a single large application while microservice architecture is a collection of small, independent services.

Monolithic architecture is a single, tightly coupled application where all components are interconnected.
Microservice architecture breaks down the application into smaller, loosely coupled services that communicate through APIs.
Migrating from monolithic to microservices involves breaking down the application into smaller services, identifying boundaries, and implementing communication between services.
Tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and service mesh can help in migrating to microservices architecture.
Example: Migrating a monolithic e-commerce application to microservices by separating user management, product catalog, and payment processing into individual services.
