Monolithic applications have tightly coupled code, making it difficult to add new features and scale beyond a point.
Microservices architecture involves breaking down applications into smaller, independent services to solve problems like scalability and deployment dependencies.
Common problems with monolithic applications include challenges in adding new features, intimidating codebase for new team members, and difficulties in updating technology stack.

Rupesh's newsletter covers topics like Python, Docker, Kubernetes, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Architecture Design, and Microservices, offering a course on Microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Microservices architecture provides a solution to the challenges of monolithic applications by structuring an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.
Transitioning from a monolith to microservices involves splitting different modules into independent services, offering flexibility in programming languages, databases, and scaling components of the application independently.
Microservices offer benefits like continuous delivery, easy testing, fault tolerance, and better scalability compared to monolithic applications, making them a favorite among developers.
