Delve into software architecture, exploring key principles, patterns, and quality attributes. Gain insights with case studies and projects, enhancing your practical skills in system design and optimization.

Software Architecture in Applications-01.png

This course offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. The course covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

You will start by exploring architectural concepts and the relationship between quality attributes, requirements, and architectural styles. You’ll also examine different architectural patterns and strategies, including centralized and decentralized architecture, layered pattern, broker pattern, and microservices. Then, you’ll go into the details of important quality attributes needed while developing an architecture.

The course is equipped with multiple case studies and two projects to further enhance learning. These real-world scenarios and hands-on projects are strategically incorporated to give learners practical insights.

Software Architecture in Applications

# Overview
Many systems are built from a collection of services deployed across numerous servers in many circumstances, and creating these systems is a challenging task. We must be concerned about the following:

+ How will the systems interoperate?
+ How will they connect?
+ How will they exchange information?
+ How available will the component services be?

The main question is this: how can we design the distributed software in a way that allows the service users to be unaware of the specifics and location of service providers, enabling us to easily alter the connections between users and providers as needed?


# Introduction to broker pattern

The **broker pattern**, also known as the **intermediary pattern**, inserts a middleman called a broker between service users (also known as clients) and service providers (servers). The client is fully disconnected from the servers and has no knowledge of them. When a client requires a service, it asks a broker over a service interface, and the broker forwards the request to the appropriate server, which handles the request. The server returns the outcome of its action to the broker that forwards the result (together with any exceptions) to the client that initiated the request.
