What is coupling in microservices vs monolithic OOP systems?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Microservices aim for loose coupling, monoliths often have tighter coupling.
Deep explanation
In monolithic systems, classes often share memory and dependencies directly, increasing coupling. Microservices enforce network-level separation, reducing direct dependency but introducing latency and distributed consistency challenges.
