What is Monolith?
Turkish: Monolith
A monolith packages the user interface, business logic, and data access layers in one codebase and one deployable unit.
What is a Monolith?
A monolith is an architecture where the user interface, business logic, data access, and background jobs are developed in one codebase and deployed as one package. It is not automatically a bad design; a well-structured monolith can be simple and maintainable for many products.
Strengths
Early in a product’s life, one repository, one deployment pipeline, and one database model can speed up development. Debugging, transaction management, and team context are often easier than in a distributed microservice system. For small teams and products still validating the core business flow, a monolith can be a pragmatic choice.
Limits
As the codebase grows, modules can become tangled, test suites can slow down, and a small change may require redeploying the whole application. If only one part of the system needs heavy scaling, scaling the entire monolith can become expensive.
A microservice architecture tries to solve these limits by separating services, but it also introduces distributed-system complexity.
