Shared Library Dependencies vs Monolithic Applications
Developers should understand shared library dependencies to build efficient, maintainable software that leverages existing codebases and avoids redundancy meets developers should consider monolithic applications for small to medium-sized projects where simplicity, rapid development, and ease of deployment are priorities, such as in startups or proof-of-concept applications. Here's our take.
Shared Library Dependencies
Developers should understand shared library dependencies to build efficient, maintainable software that leverages existing codebases and avoids redundancy
Shared Library Dependencies
Nice PickDevelopers should understand shared library dependencies to build efficient, maintainable software that leverages existing codebases and avoids redundancy
Pros
- +This is crucial in scenarios like developing cross-platform applications, managing software updates in production environments, and optimizing resource usage in large-scale systems
- +Related to: dynamic-linking, dependency-management
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Monolithic Applications
Developers should consider monolithic applications for small to medium-sized projects where simplicity, rapid development, and ease of deployment are priorities, such as in startups or proof-of-concept applications
Pros
- +This architecture is also suitable when the team is small and the application has predictable, low-traffic requirements, as it avoids the overhead of distributed systems
- +Related to: microservices, service-oriented-architecture
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Shared Library Dependencies if: You want this is crucial in scenarios like developing cross-platform applications, managing software updates in production environments, and optimizing resource usage in large-scale systems and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Monolithic Applications if: You prioritize this architecture is also suitable when the team is small and the application has predictable, low-traffic requirements, as it avoids the overhead of distributed systems over what Shared Library Dependencies offers.
