The  Monolithic  application describes a single-tiered  software  application in which different components combined into a single program from a single platform. Components can be: Authorization — responsible for authorizing a user Presentation — responsible for handling HTTP requests and responding with either HTML or JSON/XML (for web services APIs). Business logic — the application’s business logic. Database layer — data access objects responsible for accessing the database. Application integration — integration with other services (e.g. via messaging or REST API). Or integration with any other Data sources. Notification module — responsible for sending email notifications whenever needed.
