awesome-badge

Software architecture aims to describe the high level structures of software as well as the discipline of creating them. As this topic is pretty broad, it might contain some resources that are also present in more niche lists.

If you like this list, consider showing your support by following @0x12b on Twitter.

Contents

Principles

  • Flexibility - Able to adapt to changes in both environment and usability requirements without encompassing structural changes.

Design Patterns

  • Circuit Breaker - Protecting failing resources to prevent cascading failures.
  • Bulkhead - Partition resources to isolate failures.
  • Leader Election - Coordinate distributed workloads by electing a leader.

Methodology

Documentation

  • arc42 - Template for documentation and communication of software and system architectures.
  • Architectural Decision Records - Version and document architectural decisions the same way you do with code.
  • Documenting architecture - Pragmatic tips on how to effectively document software architecture.
