Modern software architectures

What if the secrets to modern software architecture were solved in the 1980s? Learn the timeless principles that make systems flexible and easy to maintain.

#1about 5 minutes

Understanding the business impact of software quality

The ISO 9126 model illustrates how neglecting internal quality attributes like maintainability leads to the most expensive and long-term technical debt.

#2about 4 minutes

Differentiating system architecture, software architecture, and design

Software development involves building hierarchical structures, with system architecture defining services, software architecture structuring each service, and software design ensuring sustainable implementation.

#3about 5 minutes

Choosing the right modularization based on scope

Effective modularization depends entirely on the project's scope, which for software architecture is driven by internal quality attributes like analyzability, changeability, and testability.

#4about 4 minutes

Aligning code structure with the business domain

To maintain low complexity and high analyzability, the software's structure should directly mirror the structure of the business domain it represents.

#5about 3 minutes

Applying principles for practical software design

The Single Responsibility Principle and consistent naming patterns are crucial tools for the entire team to create a maintainable and testable software design.

#6about 3 minutes

Decoupling dependencies at every architectural level

Use the Dependency Inversion Principle with contracts or interfaces to systematically decouple dependencies between classes, components, and architectural layers.
