Microservices can be defined as when an application is divided into multiple modules or services which work independently. Whereas on the other hand monolithic architecture is defined as when application services are working as a single unit in a single codebase.

Some key points of microservices are listed below

-> services work independently.

-> update or change in any one of the services does not affect the other services, which means it is easier for the developers to manage and maintain the application easily.

-> Startup time is faster.

-> offers low complexity and easy maintenance.

Some key points of monolithic architecture are listed below.

->works as a compact unit.

->update or change in any one of the services affects the other services, which means it is a complex issue for the developers to manage and maintain the application.

-> Start-up time is more as compared to microservices.

-> offers high complexity and is difficult to manage and maintain.
