Software architects should be familiar with software architecture patterns, as they are a powerful tool when designing a software architecture. Architecture patterns provide a proven solution to recurring problems for a given context.
Leveraging architecture patterns gives the software architect a high-level structure of the software system, and provides a grouping of design decisions that have been repeated and used successfully. Using them reduces complexity by placing constraints on the design and allows us to anticipate the qualities that the software system will exhibit once it is implemented.
In this chapter, you learned about some of the common software architecture patterns available, including layered architecture, EDA, MVC, MVP, MVVM, CQRS, and SOA.
The focus of the next chapter is on some of the relatively newer software architecture patterns and paradigms....
