Software Architecture with Spring

Diving into Software Architecture

Software architecture is the cornerstone of successful software development, bridging the gap between complex technical requirements and strategic business objectives. It not only shapes the blueprint for system design and implementation but also ensures the delivery of high-quality, robust, and efficient software solutions. Beyond guiding strategic decisions, software architecture is pivotal in managing the software development life cycle, optimizing costs, and mitigating risks while enhancing communication with stakeholders.

This chapter delves into the essence of software architecture, shedding light on its critical role in the strategic planning of software projects and clarifying the nuanced distinctions between software design and architecture. We will explore key architectural principles, examine prevalent architectural styles, and unravel the implications of the CAP theorem and architectural styles to select the most suitable database for...

Technical requirements

Definition and the importance of software architecture

Much like the architectural blueprint for a building, software architecture is foundational in developing successful software systems. It can be briefly described as the fundamental structure of a software system that defines components, their interactions, and the overarching principles guiding its evolution. This blueprint ensures that software meets technical specifications and business objectives while remaining flexible, secure, and efficient over time.

Importance of software architecture

Software architecture is a crucial and indispensable aspect of software development. Without it, projects can quickly become disorganized and chaotic, leading to costly mistakes and missed deadlines. So, if you want your software development projects to succeed, note the critical role of software architecture. Are you curious about the crucial elements that make software architecture indispensable to software development?

Let’...

A journey through software design and architecture

Having established a solid grasp of software architecture and its significance, we’ll now progress to the subsequent stage of the software development cycle: the intricacies of software design.

Setting apart the realms of software architecture and software design

Using a brief analogy of the construction of a home, we could say that software architecture is like the blueprint of a house – outlining its overall structure, defining the rooms and their relationships, and ensuring it meets broader objectives and regulations. Software design, however, delves into the specifics, akin to choosing interior finishes, planning the electrical and plumbing details, and selecting construction materials. While architecture sets the foundational vision, design handles the detailed execution that brings this vision to life.

Software architecture and software design are critical phases in software development, focusing on structuring...

Principles of software architecture

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, architects and developers are continually challenged to design systems that are not only functional and performant but also maintainable, scalable, and resilient to change. The key to achieving such a balance lies in adhering to foundational principles that have been distilled from decades of collective experience and wisdom in software engineering. These principles are the bedrock upon which reliable and efficient software systems are built.

Exploring coupling and cohesion

Coupling is often compared to cohesion. Typically, low coupling is associated with high cohesion, and the reverse is also true. Larry Constantine introduced the software quality metrics of coupling and cohesion in the late 1960s within the framework of structured design, emphasizing “good” programming practices aimed at minimizing costs related to maintenance and modifications.

Mastering coupling

Overview of the most common architectural styles

In software development, architectural styles are crucial in determining how systems are structured and how they will function. Each architectural style has its own set of principles and patterns that address specific problems and requirements. Selecting a software architectural style is a critical decision in the software development process, as it impacts the application’s performance, maintainability, scalability, and overall success. We will discuss some common concerns that developers and architects may have when selecting an architectural style. We will then provide an overview of some of the most common architectural styles.

Common concerns when selecting a software architectural style

Here are some common concerns that developers and architects must have in mind when selecting a software architectural style:

  • Cost: Consideration of the financial aspects, including initial development, deployment, maintenance...

Selecting a database by architectural style

Selecting the proper database in alignment with an application’s architectural style is crucial for optimizing performance, scalability, and reliability. This choice is influenced by the unique requirements of different architectural styles and necessitates a deep understanding of database technologies and their characteristics.

Types of databases

Databases can be categorized into various types based on their data model, architecture, and use cases. Here are the main types of databases.

Relational databases (RDBMSs)

These databases store data in tables, which are linked to each other through relationships, typically using SQL for data manipulation and queries. They are known for their Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) properties, ensuring reliable transactions. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.

NoSQL databases

NoSQL databases are recognized for their adaptability...

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the critical role of software architecture in successful software development. We saw that software architecture is more than just the blueprint for system design and implementation; it is the pivotal force that bridges the gap between intricate technical requirements and strategic business objectives. This foundational element ensures the delivery of high-quality, robust, and efficient software solutions, guiding strategic decisions throughout the software development life cycle, optimizing costs, and mitigating risks.

Then, we moved our discussion on to explaining the delineation between software architecture and design, exploring the key principles of software architecture. We were also introduced to prevalent architectural styles, highlighting the benefits and challenges posed by monolithic architecture, client-server architecture, microservices architecture, EDA, serverless architecture, and pipe and filter architecture.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
