Overview
Software architecture is the foundational blueprint that defines the structure, behavior, and key characteristics of a software system. This section explores various architectural approaches, design patterns, and modeling techniques.
Key Topics
1. C4 Model
A hierarchical approach to visualizing and documenting software architecture across multiple abstraction levels.
2. Architectural Patterns
- Microservices
- Monolithic
- Event-driven
- Layered Architecture
- Hexagonal Architecture
3. Design Principles
- SOLID Principles
- Domain-Driven Design
- Clean Architecture
- Separation of Concerns
- Orthogonal Architecture: independent components that combine without hidden interactions
- Orthogonality and Functional Programming: how FP mechanisms make orthogonal design the default
