Welcome to the guide on technical architecture fundamentals. Understanding the basics of technical architecture is crucial for anyone involved in the development, deployment, or management of software systems. This guide will cover the key concepts and principles that form the foundation of technical architecture.
Key Concepts
1. Architecture Styles
- Monolithic: A single, large application that includes all components.
- Microservices: A set of small, independent services that work together.
- Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): A design approach that enables services to be reused and combined in a flexible way.
2. Design Principles
- SOLID: A set of principles that help in designing scalable and maintainable software.
- YAGNI: You aren't gonna need it, a principle that encourages avoiding unnecessary complexity.
3. Patterns
- MVC: Model-View-Controller, a design pattern that separates the application into three interconnected components.
- CQRS: Command Query Responsibility Segregation, a pattern that separates the read and write operations of an application.
Best Practices
- Scalability: Design your architecture to handle increasing loads.
- Resilience: Ensure your system can recover from failures.
- Security: Implement security measures to protect your data and applications.
- Maintainability: Write clean, well-documented code to make future maintenance easier.
