Application Landscape

Monolith, N-tier, Service-oriented, Microservices, Serverless, Peer-to-peer

Monolith

A single application, and all functionalities are included

Advantages:

• Easy to understand/implement/test
• Easy to deploy
• ideal to start with

Disadvantages

• Tight coupling between functions
• easily leads to complex code

N-tier

Multiple tiers, with each tier performing specific task. Tiers can be physically separated and different from each other. Doing so will make the technical boundaries separated

Advantages:

• Independent development on layers
• Scalability of each layer

Disadvantages:
