Chapter 1. Architectural Best Practices
The most important aspect that affects the performance of a system is architecture. It is often seen that systems fails to perform as expected because of wrong architectural decisions. Liferay is a leading open source platform for developing high-performing portals. In this chapter, we will focus on the architecture of Liferay-Portal-based solutions. We will learn about various aspects which should be considered while defining the architecture of a Liferay-based solution. By the end of this chapter, we will learn about:
The Liferay Portal reference architecture
The Deployment sizing approach
Documents and Media Library architecture options
