Architectural patterns
In software, we can organize things in different ways, and these organized structures are called software architecture patterns. Many of them have been tried and proven to work well for solving different problems. Each pattern arranges things in a specific way to fix particular issues in software.
But let’s keep it interesting and not dive into a super long list of these patterns. Instead, we’ll look at a few of the most important and commonly used ones. This way, we can understand the main ideas without getting overwhelmed by all the possibilities.
Layered architecture
The layered architecture pattern (also called the n-tier architecture pattern) is probably the most widely used design approach. It’s the go-to standard for many Java Enterprise Edition (EE) applications, and it’s well-known among architects, designers, and developers. This pattern closely aligns with typical communication and organizational setups in most...
