The success of any application or system depends on the
architecture pattern you use. By describing the overall characteristics
of the architecture, these patterns not only guide designers and
developers on how to design components, but also determine the ways in
which those components should interact.
This O’Reilly report takes
a deep dive into many common software architecture patterns. Each
pattern includes a full explanation of how it works, explains the
pattern’s benefits and considerations, and describes the circumstances
and conditions it was designed to address. The report also includes an
analysis and scorecard for each pattern based on several architecture
and software development quality attributes.
Patterns include:
- Layered architecture
- Event-driven architecture
- Microkernel architecture
- Microservices architecture
- Space-based architecture
In
addition to these specific patterns, you’ll also learn about the
Architecture by Implication anti-pattern and the causes and effects of
not using architecture patterns.
