🏛️ Software Architecture
1. 🎯 Learning Objectives
- Compare architectural styles: layered, MVC, microservices
- Describe event-driven architecture
- Choose appropriate architecture for given requirements
2. 📖 Core Content
3.1 Layered Architecture
Presentation → Business Logic → Data Access → Database
Pros: Separation of concerns, testable layers, clear dependencies. Cons: Performance overhead, layer bridging temptation.
3.2 MVC Pattern
Model: Data and business rules View: UI presentation Controller: Input handling, coordinates Model and View
3.3 Microservices Architecture
Each service is independently deployable, owns its data, communicates via APIs.
Pros: Independent scaling, team autonomy, technology diversity. Cons: Distributed complexity, network latency, data consistency.
3.4 Event-Driven Architecture
Components communicate via events (messages). Loose coupling, good for asynchronous workflows.
4. 📝 Practice Questions
Q1: When would you choose microservices over monolithic architecture?Answer: When the application has clear domain boundaries, different scaling requirements per component, independent deployment needs, and the team is large enough to own separate services. Not recommended for small teams or simple applications. Join Discord PreviousUML DiagramsNextGit & CI/CD
