Preface

Chapter 6. Architectural Patterns

Architectural patterns, sometimes referred to as an architectural style, provide solutions to recurring problems in software architecture.

Though similar to software design patterns, they have a broader scope, addressing various issues in software engineering as opposed to simply the development of software itself.

In this chapter we will cover the following topics:

  • Model-View-Controller (MVC)

  • Service-oriented architecture

  • Microservices

  • Asynchronous queuing

  • Message Queue pattern
