Before breaking and scaling our monolith, it is important to know whether or not it is worth making the effort for our application. Let's examine all the advantages of a single block architecture:
- The first advantage for sure is the infrastructure cost. Here, we are going to break into multiple and scalable pieces but this means that we need to pay for each piece of this architecture. The final cost of the infrastructure will be higher than the single monolith.
- The cost to build a multi-tier scalable architecture will definitely be much more complex than a monolithic one. This means more time to build and more competencies required to do that. The purpose of this book is also to reduce this competency gap.
- An articulated ...
