Common patterns
As we mentioned before, we don’t have to create a new architectural pattern every time we start working on a new system. There are a lot of already-tested and well-documented architectural patterns and approaches that we can begin with. An important aspect to consider is that you can combine techniques if it suits your system, but please be careful because you can quickly end up with a mess if you are not careful.
