Monolithic vs Microservice Architecture: Which To Use and When?

When it comes to software architecture, there are generally 2 main types, monoliths, and microservices. In this video, I cover the differences between each of them and discuss which ones you should be using for your next project.

With microservices, you need to have a good understanding of cloud-based platforms. AWS is used by a lot of companies, and you can earn more if you have a certification such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
