## Description

Monolithic architecture approaches are currently not held in high regard, as they are considered to be complex, sluggish, and difficult to modify. On the other hand, Microservices are seen as fast, flexible, and adaptable, even though they also have various disadvantages in practice. Additionally, transitioning from a monolithic to a microservices architecture is not straightforward.

Therefore, this session will first examine both approaches and compare them. It will then explain a hybrid approach, the "Modulith," and demonstrate the scenarios in which it leads to remarkable results.
