 Monolithic application

A monolithic application is a software architecture pattern where all the components of the application are combined into a single, unified program. This includes the user interface, business logic, and data access layers bundled together into a single codebase and typically deployed as a single unit. ### Characteristics of Monolithic Applications: 1. **Single Codebase**: The entire application resides in one codebase, which makes it easier to manage version control but can complicate collaborative development over time.
