# No Caching Monolithic persistence in system design refers to the use of a single, monolithic database to store all of the data for an application or system. This approach can be used for simple, small-scale systems, but as the system grows and evolves, it can become a bottleneck, resulting in poor scalability, limited flexibility, and increased complexity. A monolithic persistence can have several disadvantages: - Scalability - Limited Flexibility - Increased Complexity - Single Point of Failure Learn from the following links: - [What is Caching in system design?](enjoyalgorithms.com/blog/caching-system-design-concept) - [No Caching antipattern](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/antipatterns/no-caching/)
