Monolithic architecture is development where an application is built on a single codebase, and the code is unilateral. Generally speaking, monolithic architecture is composed of three parts: Database. This is usually a relational database management system. Monolithic architecture pros.

It’s much better to build your process around quality checks than retrofit these checks into the existent process. NIST did classic research to show that catching bugs at the beginning of the development process could be more than ten times cheaper than if a bug reaches production. However, it’s not a unit test. A side note.

Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate.
