Description:
As software systems grow in complexity and scale, choosing the right architectural pattern is critical to meeting performance, agility, and operational demands. In this book, Mark Richards, Neal Ford, and Raju Gandhi detail modern software architecture patterns and the antipatterns and pitfalls to avoid. Unique star-chart ratings for each pattern let you see at a glance how well it supports scalability, resilience, and maintainability. You'll learn how your choices affect an architecture's capabilities in different contexts, such as microservices or event-driven architectures, and how to evaluate trade-offs to select the right pattern for your system's needs.
Architects, software developers, and technical leaders will find new insights and tools for AI use, governance, aligning architecture with domain and business needs.
