What are the advantages of monolithic architecture?

Advantages of monolithic architecture:

• Ease of development and deployment: all code is in one application, simplifying setup and deployment.
• Single codebase: easier to manage dependencies and refactor.
• Simpler testing: integration tests cover all functionality without the need for coordination between services.
• Less overhead for communication: no network calls between services, reducing latency.
• Convenient for small teams and projects: does not require complex infrastructure.

However, as the application grows, a monolith can become bulky and difficult to maintain, so the choice of architecture depends on the scale and requirements of the project.
