Monolithic architecture is a single, indivisible unit where all components are tightly coupled.
Microservice architecture is a collection of small, independent services that communicate with each other through APIs.
Monolithic architecture can be harder to scale and maintain due to its size and complexity.
Microservice architecture allows for easier scalability and maintenance as services can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.
