Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Evaluate Layered Monolithic Architecture

The video tutorial discusses the architecture of an e-commerce application, focusing on the evaluation of its current layered architecture. It highlights the benefits such as easy development, debugging, and deployment due to separation of concerns. However, it also points out significant drawbacks like layer dependencies leading to high coupling, maintenance difficulties, and complexity in changing libraries. The tutorial aims to identify what's wrong with the current design and suggests improvements.

What is the primary focus of the initial section of the video?

• Explaining the drawbacks of layered architecture

• Discussing the benefits of layered architecture

• Introducing the e-commerce application architecture

• Evaluating the current architecture

Which of the following is a benefit of the layered architecture?

• High coupling of services

• Easy development and deployment

• Complexity in code maintenance

• Difficulty in changing libraries

What does the separation of concerns in layered architecture help achieve?

• Increased dependency between layers

• Simplified debugging process

• Harder maintenance of the codebase

• Organized code with distinct responsibilities

What is a major drawback of the layered architecture discussed in the video?

• Easy to change libraries

• Low coupling of services

• Simplified codebase

• High dependency between layers

Why is it challenging to change libraries in a layered architecture?

• Because it enhances the separation of concerns

• Because it requires modifying all layers

• Because it simplifies the codebase

• Because it reduces the complexity
