Includes vs Monolithic Architecture

Developers should learn and use includes to avoid code duplication, improve project structure, and facilitate team collaboration by centralizing common functions or configurations meets developers should use monolithic architecture for small to medium-sized projects, prototypes, or when rapid development and simplicity are priorities, as it reduces initial complexity and overhead. Here's our take.

Includes

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use includes to avoid code duplication, improve project structure, and facilitate team collaboration by centralizing common functions or configurations

Pros

• Specific use cases include importing libraries in Python with 'import', including header files in C/C++ with '#include', and loading modules in JavaScript with 'require' or 'import'
• Related to: modular-programming, dependency-management

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Monolithic Architecture

Developers should use monolithic architecture for small to medium-sized projects, prototypes, or when rapid development and simplicity are priorities, as it reduces initial complexity and overhead

Pros

• It is suitable for applications with predictable, low-to-moderate traffic where scaling can be handled vertically by adding more resources to a single server
• Related to: microservices, service-oriented-architecture

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Includes if: You want specific use cases include importing libraries in python with 'import', including header files in c/c++ with '#include', and loading modules in javascript with 'require' or 'import' and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Monolithic Architecture if: You prioritize it is suitable for applications with predictable, low-to-moderate traffic where scaling can be handled vertically by adding more resources to a single server over what Includes offers.

The Bottom Line

Includes wins

Developers should learn and use includes to avoid code duplication, improve project structure, and facilitate team collaboration by centralizing common functions or configurations
