Difference between Monolithic  and Microservices architecture with a real-life example Monolithic and microservices are two architectural styles used in software development. Here's a simple example to illustrate the difference between the two: Monolithic Example: Imagine you are building a web-based e-commerce application. In a monolithic architecture, all the functionality of the application is built and deployed as a single unit. This means that the different components of the application, such as the user interface, product catalog, shopping cart, and payment processing, are tightly coupled and packaged together.
