Monolithic Nightmare: How a Monolithic App Hinders Development
Working for years developing on a monolithic architecture can cause one or more of the following consequences: Low productivity: a monolithic application slows down the development of application services because the modules are tightly coupled, making parallel development difficult. Security concerns: monolithic applications are often built on outdated frameworks. Instability. Long time to market. Even minor changes require releasing the entire product. Less suitable for use in CI/CD pipelines. Tightly coupled application services. Lower performance. Low scalability. Application framework not easily upgradable: migration involves an excessive amount of work with a high probability of compromising application functionality. The inability to update frameworks necessitates the use of obsolete and unmaintained libraries, posing further security risks. Complexity. Single point of failure. Obsolescence of the technical knowledge of the working group. As a result, the time comes to hav...
