Categories of patterns

  1. Application Landscape (e.g. neighbourhood)
    • Single application to end user
    • Multiple applications behind the scenes possible
    • Types
      • Monolith
      • N-tier
      • Service-orientated
      • Microservices
      • Serverless
      • Peer-to-peer
  2. Application Structure (e.g. individual houses in neighbourhood)
    • Single executable
    • Can be part of a larger application landscape
    • Types
      • Layered
      • Microkernel
      • Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS)
      • Event sourcing
  3. User Interface (e.g. how user gets into house)
    • Model-view-controller (MVC)
    • Model-view-presenter (MVP)
    • Model-view-viewmodel (MVVM)
