When building a software application, one of the most important decisions developers make is choosing the right architecture.

As an application grows, its architecture affects how developers organize code, maintain features, deploy updates, handle failures, and scale the system.

Both architectures have advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right one depends on the application's requirements, complexity, development team, infrastructure, and long-term goals.

Let's understand how they work and when to use each approach.
