Software developers at all levels except for those in junior positions.

My understanding of this book 📖🔖

The author attempts to list all the important aspects of software architecture, such as scalability, ease of maintenance, security, resilience, monitoring, etc. To help choose an architecture that matches business requirements. In essence, they aim to understand what it takes to create and maintain architectures that can adapt to constant changes.

Next, the author discusses various architectural approaches, including monolithic, modular monolithic, SOA, microservice, and serverless architectures. The author evaluates these options based on fitness functions, incremental changes, and coupling to determine the most suitable architecture.

Should I Read this book?

I genuinely believe that even if you manage to extract just one page from a book, it’s worth the read. If you find the time, I highly recommend giving it a go. However, if you’re unable to do so, I hope the information you’ve gathered here serves as a valuable takeaway. Embrace it.

I haven’t read the book yet, but I have a great desire to do so. From what I've heard, it promises to provide valuable knowledge on how to build and maintain flexible and scalable IT systems. I started learning a programming language, at the same time I am studying at the university and I have to use essay writing help online, I found an essay helper for this. I hope this book will help me in some way. Reviews about it are mixed, of course.

I would say if You have experience in designing any event-driven architecture, you have definitely faced some challenges that are addressed in this book. I enjoyed reading that, of course reading 430 pages takes time
