Architecture Skills

Overview

This module covers fundamental and advanced architecture concepts applicable across all technology stacks.

Categories

Principles

Core software design principles that guide architectural decisions.

• •SOLID Principles
• •DRY, KISS, YAGNI
• •Separation of Concerns
• •Dependency Inversion

Patterns

High-level architecture patterns for organizing systems.

• •Clean Architecture
• •Hexagonal Architecture
• •Layered Architecture
• •Domain-Driven Design
• •CQRS & Event Sourcing
• •Microservices

Design Patterns

Reusable solutions to common design problems.

• •Creational: Factory, Builder, Singleton, DI
• •Structural: Adapter, Decorator, Facade, Repository
• •Behavioral: Strategy, Observer, Command, State Machine

Distributed Systems

Patterns for building distributed applications.

• •Service Communication
• •Data Consistency
• •Resilience Patterns
• •Event-Driven Architecture

Decision Making

Tools and frameworks for architectural decisions.

• •Architecture Decision Records (ADR)
• •Trade-off Analysis
• •Documentation Best Practices

When to Use

• •Starting new projects
• •Refactoring legacy systems
• •Making architecture decisions
• •Code review and design discussions
• •Team knowledge sharing
