Part of the Comprehensive Documentation Framework
A comprehensive collection of software architecture guides covering modern architectural patterns, design principles, and system design strategies.
This repository contains battle-tested architecture guides based on production experience:
- Domain-Driven Design - Strategic and tactical DDD patterns and implementation
- CQRS & Event Sourcing - Command Query Responsibility Segregation and event sourcing patterns
- API Design Patterns - REST, GraphQL, and API versioning strategies
- Microservices Architecture - Service decomposition and communication patterns
- System Design Principles - Scalable system architecture fundamentals
- Hexagonal Architecture - Clean architecture and dependency inversion
- Software Architects - Designing scalable and maintainable systems
- Senior Developers - Understanding advanced architectural patterns
- Technical Leaders - Making architectural decisions
- System Designers - Creating robust system architectures
- Teams - Aligning on architectural standards and patterns
- Assess Current Architecture: Evaluate your existing system architecture
- Choose Patterns: Select patterns that fit your domain and scale requirements
- Implement Incrementally: Don't try to refactor everything at once
- Document Decisions: Record architectural decisions and rationale
These guides follow a principles-first approach:
- Domain-Driven: Start with understanding the business domain
- Evolutionary: Architecture evolves with business needs
- Pragmatic: Balance ideal patterns with practical constraints
- Testable: Architectures that enable comprehensive testing
- Strategic design patterns (bounded contexts, context mapping)
- Tactical design patterns (entities, value objects, aggregates)
- Implementation strategies and real-world examples
- Event-driven architecture integration
- Command Query Responsibility Segregation patterns
- Event sourcing implementation strategies
- Projection patterns and read model optimization
- Consistency and concurrency handling
- RESTful API design principles and patterns
- GraphQL schema design and optimization
- API versioning strategies and backward compatibility
- Authentication and authorization patterns
- Service decomposition strategies
- Inter-service communication patterns
- Data consistency in distributed systems
- Monitoring and observability in microservices
