Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Architecture Patterns

Just as developers use design patterns in software development, architects use well-defined architecture patterns to get a head start on defining the characteristics and shape of the architecture for a system. In this session we will explore some of the more common architecture patterns and use concrete real-world examples to demonstrate how the patterns work. I will also go over the pros and cons of each pattern and discuss how requirements and operational aspects can drive which patterns to use. Using the right architecture pattern for your system is critical, because as we all know, once in place the architecture is very hard to change.

Agenda:

  • Why use architecture patterns?
  • Layered Architecture Patten
  • Event Driven Architecture Pattern
  • Microkernel Architecture Pattern
  • Space-based Architecture Pattern
