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.

OO design patterns

Object-oriented design patterns solve many common software design problems, as follows, that architects come across every day:

  • Finding appropriate objects
  • Determining object granularity
  • Specifying object interfaces
  • Specifying object implementations
  • Programming to an interface, not an implementation
  • Putting the reuse mechanism to work

We will touch upon some of the common problems and how design patterns solve the mentioned glitches in this section and cover OO design patterns in detail.

We can categorize the patterns into three types: creational, structural, and behavioral. Refer to the table at the end of this chapter, which depicts the patterns and its categories as a simple reference before we move ahead with the details.
