SOLID architecture and design

Architecture¶

• Any software system has an [[architecture]]
• There's no "the highest level of abstraction of a system"
• Architecture has a social role (communicative)
• [[DBMS]] and [[UI]] are just tools, strive to make them irrelevant.

Design¶

• Software design is about designing the individual modules or components
• What are the responsibilities, functions of module x? or class y?
• What can it do? what not?

Architecture and Design Patterns¶

• [[Architecture patterns]] are standard forms of relationships between components that are deemed to be significant.
  • [[2 tier architecture]]
  • [[3 tier architecutre]]
  • Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
  • [[Event-Driven Architecture]]
  • [[cloud architecture]]
• They can be split into - [[behavioral design patterns]], [[structural design patterns]] and [[creational design patterns]].
