Intro

Software architecture patterns are a set of design principles and practices that help developers create efficient, scalable, and maintainable software systems. Before writing any software we should ask ourselves what are the outcomes we want to achieve, what are some of the constraints and how to mitigate them.

There are several different types of architecture patterns, each with their own unique set of benefits and trade-offs.

  1. Layered Architecture
  2. Event-driven Architecture
  3. Microservices Architecture
  4. Command Query Segregation Architecture
  5. Space-based Architecture

Choosing the right one requires understanding of their pros/cons, limitations and application.

In the following posts I will share details regarding each of these solutions and where to apply them.
