Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Challenges of Modular Monolithic Architecture

The video discusses the drawbacks of modular Montek architectures, highlighting their limitations in technology diversification and independent scaling and deployment. It explains that these architectures do not offer the benefits of microservices, such as flexibility in technology choices and independent scalability. The video concludes that applications using modular Montek architectures may need to transition to microservices to overcome scalability and performance issues.

What is a key limitation of modular monolithic architectures?

• They allow for easy technology diversification.

• They support multiple programming languages seamlessly.

• They do not allow for technology and language diversification.

• They are inherently scalable.

Why can't modular monolithic architectures use polycode technologies?

• They are too complex to implement.

• They do not support multiple technology stacks.

• They are too expensive to maintain.

• They require specialized hardware.

What is a major challenge of deploying modular monolithic architectures?

• They are more secure than microservices.

• They cannot be scaled or deployed independently.

• They require less server space.

• They can be deployed independently.

What is a reason for transitioning from modular monolithic architectures to microservices?

• To reduce the number of servers needed.

• To improve scalability and performance.

• To simplify the codebase.

• To decrease the cost of development.

What is a drawback of modular monolithic architectures mentioned in the video?

• They are easy to maintain.

• They are too flexible.

• They reach scalability limits.

• They have no performance issues.
