Overview of this book

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is typically an aggregate of the business, application, data, and infrastructure architectures of any forward-looking enterprise. Due to constant changes and rising complexities in the business and technology landscapes, producing sophisticated architectures is on the rise. Architectural patterns are gaining a lot of attention these days. The book is divided in three modules. You'll learn about the patterns associated with object-oriented, component-based, client-server, and cloud architectures. The second module covers Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) patterns and how they are architected using various tools and patterns. You will come across patterns for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), big data analytics architecture, and Microservices Architecture (MSA). The final module talks about advanced topics such as Docker containers, high performance, and reliable application architectures. The key takeaways include understanding what architectures are, why they're used, and how and where architecture, design, and integration patterns are being leveraged to build better and bigger systems.

Key elements of OOD

There are four key elements of OOD. They are as follows:

  • Abstraction: Hiding the complexity and low-level implementation details of internals.
    For instance, you see electrical switch buttons that can toggle on and off, but how it is achieving on and off is not shown to outside world, and in fact, it is not necessary for the common users.
  • Encapsulation: Bundling of the data with the methods that operate on that data, preventing accidental or unauthorized access to the data.
    For example, switching off function should turn only the targeted element off, say a reading lamp, and it should not affect any other electrical functions that are part of the same electrical system.
  • Modularization: The process of decomposing and making it as modules to reduce the complexity of the overall program/function.
    For example, switch off and on is a common functionality of an electrical...
