I. Introduction Overview of Monolith and Microservices If you've ever played with Lego (who hasn't, right?), you'll understand the core difference between monolith and microservices architecture. Imagine building a spaceship - in a monolithic design, you'd build the whole thing all at once. But in a microservices approach, you'd build each part separately, like the wings, the engine, and the control room, and then plug them all together. That's the essence of it. Initially, you embark on creating an exquisite monolith system, perhaps even a modular one. As time goes by, the system grows and the demands placed upon it constantly change. Gradually, small imperfections start to emerge in the system. These issues could be attributed to organizational factors, where the workload is distributed among a team. Alternatively, they could be a result of scaling challenges and obstacles affecting performance. At this point, you begin exploring potential solutions, carefully...
