Microservices - Advanced Patterns

Which of the following best describes a distributed monolith in microservices architecture?

AServices are fully independent and communicate rarely.

BServices are tightly coupled and require coordinated deployment.

CServices use asynchronous messaging to reduce latency.

DServices are stateless and scale automatically.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand distributed monolith characteristics
A distributed monolith looks like microservices but behaves like a single app with tight coupling.
Step 2: Identify deployment and coupling issues
Such services require coordinated deployment and cannot scale independently.
Final Answer:
Services are tightly coupled and require coordinated deployment. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Distributed monolith = tight coupling [OK]

Quick Trick: Distributed monolith means tight coupling, not independence [OK]
