Leverage leadership knowledge to make better software architecture decisions. Think deeply but implement slowly. The overarching goal of software systems (hence, for software architecture) is to build systems that meet quality standards and that provide the highest return on investment (ROI) in the long run or within a defined period of time. A great product requires a combination of technology, leadership, and product management (including UX). Leadership...

"Universal Principles of Architecture illustrates in 100 concepts the importance, possibilities, challenges, and roles that architecture plays in shaping the world. Divided into Archetypes, Methods, Conditions, Relationships, and Imaginaries, each of the five sections in the book introduces in 20 principles architecture at different scales and stages of the design process. Through an inclusive and holistic approach, the book refers to initial design...

In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde viel Software entwickelt, die wir heute modernisieren und zukunftsfähig machen müssen. Carola Lilienthal und Henning Schwentner haben in den vergangenen Jahren umfassende Erfahrungen gesammelt, wie sich Domain-Driven Design (DDD) einsetzen lässt, um große Legacy- Systeme in Microservices zu zerlegen oder zu wartbaren Monolithen umzubauen. Mit ihrer Methode »Domain-Driven Transformation« haben sie einen umfassenden...

Although deservedly popular and highly performant tools for building modern web applications, React and single-page applications (SPAs) become more and more sluggish as your applications and teams grow. To solve this problem, many large web apps have started to break down monolith SPAs into independently deployable smaller apps and components—a pattern called micro frontends. But micro frontends aren't a perfect solution, but rather a double-edged...

We live in a fast-evolving world with new technologies emerging every day, where enterprises are constantly changing in an unending quest to be more profitable. So, the question arises — how to develop software capable of handling a high level of unpredictability. With this question in mind, this book explores how the hexagonal architecture can help build robust, change-tolerable, maintainable, and cloud-native applications that can meet the...

There are no easy decisions in software architecture. Instead, there are many hard parts-difficult problems or issues with no best practices-that force you to choose among various compromises. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures. Architecture veterans and practicing consultants Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, and Zhamak Dehghani discuss strategies for choosing...

Sponsored by Cockroach Labs With an eye to the future, many organizations have made the move to microservices as a means of decomposing monolithic legacy systems. But what does a distributed system mean for delivering data? Join us to discover how understanding the intersection of software architecture and data can help you achieve new levels of velocity, agility, reliability, and efficiency. From the application of patterns to your machine learning...

This book is an approachable guide for students and professionals to learn parametric modeling through the lens of architectonics, allowing readers to pair fundamental ideas about architecture with parametric thinking. Architectonics and Parametric Thinking begins by clearly positioning the potentials of parametric design through a series of chapters written by leaders in their respective industries. This helps to situate the vast potential of parametric...
