Become Complex over time - Hard to Understand

It becomes too large in size with time and that’s why its difficult to

manage. The application grows with adding new functionalities, a

monolithic codebase can become extremely large and complex.

▪ Hard to Making New changes

It is harder to implement new changes in such a large and complex

application with highly tight coupling. Any code change affects the

whole system.

▪ Barrier to new technology adoption

It is extremely problematic to apply a new technology because the

entire application has to be re development due to the interlocking

dependencies found in a monolith.

▪ Difficult to Scale

You can't scale components independently, the only option is the

scaling the whole application. You can’t scale individual

components.
