Monolithic architecture

[iluwatar]

Description:

The Monolithic Architecture design pattern structures an application as a single, unified codebase where all modules and components are tightly integrated and run as a single service. This pattern simplifies development, testing, and deployment processes, making it suitable for smaller teams and applications with straightforward requirements.

Key elements of the Monolithic Architecture:

• Single Codebase: All the functionality of the application resides in a single code repository.
• Tight Coupling: Components are closely interconnected, making it easy to share code and data within the application.
• Centralized Logic: All business logic, data access, and user interfaces are housed in one application.
• Unified Deployment: The entire application is deployed as a single unit.

This pattern is advantageous for applications that do not require complex scaling and have limited functional scope.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. Project Structure: Create a new module following the project structure guidelines.
2. Implementation: Develop a simple monolithic application that incorporates all business logic, data access, and user interfaces within the single application.
3. Functionality: Ensure the application covers a basic but comprehensive use case that demonstrates the Monolithic Architecture effectively.
4. Testing: Write unit tests to cover key functionalities, ensuring robust test coverage.
5. Documentation: Provide a detailed README file explaining:
   • What the Monolithic Architecture is.
   • Use cases and scenarios where it is applicable.
   • How the provided example demonstrates the Monolithic Architecture pattern.
6. Quality Assurance: Ensure all existing and new tests pass successfully.
7. Code Review: Conduct a thorough code review to ensure the implementation adheres to the project's coding standards and best practices.
8. References: Include references to relevant documentation and external resources that explain the Monolithic Architecture in detail.
