Why is software architecture important and How to choose Software Architecture for your next project?

Achitectures last 12 to 30+ years, while development often only spans 2 to 4. Software architecture is like the foundation of a house. A good one promises that after a team changes, everything runs smoothly for years. That strong base means fewer fixes and more improvements. It makes everybody's job easier!

Several factors determine the selection of software architecture such as size of team, size and scope of project, specific requirements and long-term goals for application use
