A monolithic application is a single unified unit, deployed on a set of identical servers behind a load balancer. Simply, a monolithic application is a large codebase that includes all the application components, such as frontend, backend, and other configuration files.

A microservice application breaks it down into a collection of smaller independent units. These units will have multiple runtime instances and have their own logic, database, and other configuration files.
