Solutions Architect's Handbook

By: Saurabh Shrivastava, Neelanjali Srivastav

Overview of this book

Becoming a solutions architect gives you the flexibility to work with cutting-edge technologies and define product strategies. This handbook takes you through the essential concepts, design principles and patterns, architectural considerations, and all the latest technology that you need to know to become a successful solutions architect. This book starts with a quick introduction to the fundamentals of solution architecture design principles and attributes that will assist you in understanding how solution architecture benefits software projects across enterprises. You'll learn what a cloud migration and application modernization framework looks like, and will use microservices, event-driven, cache-based, and serverless patterns to design robust architectures. You'll then explore the main pillars of architecture design, including performance, scalability, cost optimization, security, operational excellence, and DevOps. Additionally, you'll also learn advanced concepts relating to big data, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Finally, you'll get to grips with the documentation of architecture design and the soft skills that are necessary to become a better solutions architect. By the end of this book, you'll have learned techniques to create an efficient architecture design that meets your business requirements.

Solution Architecture Design Patterns

There are multiple ways to design a solution. A solution architect needs to take the right approach based on user requirements along with the architecture constraints of cost, performance, scalability, and availability. In this chapter, you will learn about various solution architecture patterns along with reference architectures and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.

In the previous chapters, you learned about the attributes and principles of solution architecture design. This chapter is both exciting and essential as you will be able to apply your learning to various architecture design patterns. In this chapter, you will gain an understanding of some of the significant solution architecture patterns, such as layered, event-driven, microservice, loosely coupled, service-oriented, and RESTful architectures.
