Tag: Software Architecture

In today's rapidly evolving software development landscape, architects and IT leaders face the critical challenge of designing systems that can adapt, scale, and evolve effectively. As modern architectural practices emphasize the decoupling of domains to achieve a decentralized architecture, it becomes increasingly clear that the topology of development teams and their interactions plays a vital role in the success of architectural design.

The interplay between team topologies and software architecture is an essential factor that architects must consider. A well-structured team topology sets the stage for efficient collaboration, effective communication, and streamlined delivery of software solutions. Without careful consideration of team dynamics and organizational structure, even the most well-conceived architectural designs may encounter obstacles and fall short of their full potential.

I recently started studying styles of software architecture in different ways: by reading books by renowned architects and by trying to go a step further in my professional career. I have seen how different it is to be an architect from a developer; although these two roles have many points in common, the approach is different.

I don't want to describe what it means to be a software architect in this article. I will summarize what I have been reading and learning about the different styles of software architecture categorized as monolithic or distributed.

The purpose of this article is to help readers understand what is caching, the problems it addresses, and how caching can be applied across layers of system architecture to solve some of the challenges faced by modern software systems.

This article is aimed at software developers, technical managers, software architects, test engineers, or anyone else interested in understanding how the cache can be used in software systems.
