System Architecture

System Architecture

Overview of common system architecture patterns.

Every system has an architecture — the “blueprint” — and there are different types depending on scale, team, and use-case.

System Architecture

Monolithic Architecture Single deployable application Easy for small apps, hard to scale Example: small e-commerce MVP

Microservices Architecture Independent, small services with their own DBs Scalable, team-friendly, but complex Example: Netflix, Amazon

Event-Driven Architecture Services communicate via events/messages Good for asynchronous workflows Example: Uber ride events triggering notifications

Layered Architecture Service Oriented Architecture Serverless Architecture .........
