Summary · Chapter 7

Chapter takeaways

• Architects should know software architecture patterns — a powerful design tool giving a proven solution to recurring problems in a context.
• Patterns provide a high-level structure and a grouping of design decisions repeated and used successfully; they reduce complexity by constraining the design and let you anticipate the qualities the system will exhibit.
• Patterns covered:
  • Layered architecture
  • Event-driven architecture (EDA)
  • MVC
  • MVP
  • MVVM
  • CQRS
  • SOA
• Next: newer patterns and paradigms — microservice, serverless, and cloud-native applications, increasingly crucial as cloud deployment dominates.
