Architecture Patterns
Introduction
Architecture patterns, also known as architectural styles, are descriptions of commonly used designs that have been proven to work well in practice. They provide a way to organize and structure software systems, making them easier to understand, maintain, and extend. By using architecture patterns, developers can avoid reinventing the wheel and focus on solving the specific problems of their application.
These patterns are typically presented as either a high-level diagram or a table describing the key components and their relationships. Regardless of the format, each pattern provides a set of guidelines about when the pattern should be used, when it should be avoided, and the pros and cons of using the design.
Not everything included in this section is a pattern. Some are just general architectural concepts that are important to understand when designing software systems.
Topics
📄️ Model View Controller (MVC)
Model View Controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern that separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller.
📄️ Layered Architecture
The layered architecture pattern organizes software into distinct layers to improve maintainability and scalability.
📄️ Client-Server Architecture
The Client-Server pattern is a software architecture pattern that divides an application into two main components, the client and the server.
📄️ Pipe and Filter Pattern
The Pipe and Filter pattern is a software architecture pattern that processes data through a series of filters connected by pipes.
📄️ Publisher-Subscriber Architecture
The Publisher-Subscriber pattern is a software architecture pattern that allows for communication between components without direct dependencies.
📄️ Strangler Facade Pattern
The Strangler Facade pattern is a software architecture pattern that provides a simplified interface to a complex system to allow replacement of components without affecting the client.
📄️ Static Content Hosting
Static Content Hosting is a software architecture pattern that serves static content to users over the internet.
📄️ Microservices
Microservices is a software architecture pattern that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.
