The very term ‘Architecture’ is a borrowed from engineering and is probably the most loaded expression you’d hear in the realm of computer science and software engineering. There are myriad of definitions, and disagreements on what software and solution architecture really is; SEI (Software engineering institute ) and IEEE have built some larger definitions around defining what software architecture is, what however we would keep it simple by stating that software’s architectural design is a way of providing structure of practices which help simplify domain modeling, and help make design decisions in alignment with business problems.
Point of View: Solution Architecture
Good architecture makes the system easy to understand, easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to deploy. The ultimate goal is to minimize the lifetime cost of the system and to maximize programmer productivity.
- Robert C. Martin, Clean Architecture
