Deciding when to move from a monolithic to a distributed frontend architecture is an important technical decision as any company scales. Here’s what you need to consider before making the move.
Monolithic architectures have long been the standard for building web applications. However, as businesses strive for greater scalability and resilience in their systems, limitations have become apparent, driving software developers towards more distributed architectures to tackle these issues.
By breaking down a large application into smaller, independent microservices that communicate with each other over a network, developers can build applications that are more resilient, scalable, and easier to maintain than their monolithic counterparts.
