What is monlythic design?

Monolithic design refers to a software architecture approach where all components of an application are tightly integrated and operate as a single unit. In this model, the entire application is typically built as one large codebase, making it easier to develop and deploy initially. However, it can lead to challenges in scalability and maintainability over time, as changes to one part of the application may require redeploying the entire system. This contrasts with microservices architecture, where applications are composed of smaller, independent services.
