From Developer to Architect: A Journey Through the Software Architecture (Chapter 1 - Introduction)
Ever wondered what goes into creating those complex applications you use daily? It begins with planning, where the purpose and functionalities of the software are outlined alongside user needs and technical requirements. The next stage involves designing the overall structure of the software, choosing appropriate technologies, and most importantly, defining how each component or module interacts with each other. Once the necessary architecture is defined, reviewed, and fine-tuned, the design is translated into functional software using programming languages and tools. Finally, the software undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it achieves the purpose for which it was built. Poor architecture can lead to a domino effect of issues, impacting everything from performance and security to scalability and maintenance costs. This blog series aims to equip you with the knowledge and strategies to design strong software architecture. I will explore the essential factors, best practices, and ...
