Advantages of a Layered Architecture

Discover the key advantages of layered architecture in software design such as loose coupling and simplified testability. Learn how separating system components improves modularity and allows isolated testing. This lesson explains how layered stages handle data flow and adapt to different user interfaces and data sources, helping you design clean, robust applications.

Conventional programming can sometimes make our code difficult to understand. This is why professionals are increasingly moving toward layered architecture. Before delving deeper into the details of clean architecture, let’s first discuss the advantages of layered architecture.

Loosely coupled

The stages of the layered architecture are separated, and there is a great deal of data transformation between these stages. One way we can achieve independence—or loose coupling—between the components of a computer system is through the use of common data formats. ...
