Pros and Cons of Monolithic Architecture

Introduction Monolithic architecture is a software development pattern where an application is built as a single, autonomous unit. It’s a default style for many enterprise level applications. While it has its benefits, it also comes with drawbacks. In this blog post, we will explore both sides of the monolithic architecture coin. Pros of Monolithic Architecture…

Why

Introduction ‘Why?’ A seemingly simple question that often reveals complex answers. This powerful three-letter word is used to seek information, understanding or certainty about a wide range of topics. From our early childhood to our senior years, this question follows us everywhere, prompting us to constantly learn, adapt, improve and drive change. In this blog…

A Practical Guide to Implementing the Builder Design Pattern

A Practical Guide to Implementing the Builder Design Pattern There are a variety of patterns employed in programming to ease the software development process. The Builder Design Pattern, in particular, is a handy pattern which allows for complex object construction in an organised manner. This blog post seeks to provide a practical guide on how…

Exploring Different Software Architectures

Hey there. Today, I’m super excited to chat with you about something that might sound a little dry at first but trust me, it’s actually pretty cool—software architecture. If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard the term thrown around a lot. I used to think it was just some fancy way of saying “how the…

Introduction to the Composite Design Pattern

Introduction to the Composite Design Pattern The Composite Design Pattern is a foundational element in the world of object-oriented design and programming. Its main aim is to handle complex hierarchies of objects, particularly those that are composite in nature, allowing for simpler client interfaces and providing a consistent way to manage these object collections. But…

The Importance of Scalable Software Architectures

Hey there! If you’re like me, you’ve probably been down the rabbit hole of tech lingo more times than you can count. But today, I want to chat with you about something that’s not just buzzwords—it’s a cornerstone of good software development: scalable software architectures. Don’t worry, I’ll keep it casual and relatable, just like…

The Ins and Outs of the Abstract Factory Design Pattern.

The Ins and Outs of the Abstract Factory Design Pattern The term “Design Pattern” might initially seem intimidating, especially for budding programmers. Fear not, as we’re here to unpack one of the commonly used creational design patterns – the Abstract Factory Design Pattern. But before diving into specific details, let’s first get a grasp of…

The Evolution of SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture)

Introduction The development and evolution of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) have played a significant role in shaping today’s digital world. From the inception of SOA up till now, the extensive use of this architectural style has changed how technology interacts. However, to fully appreciate the relevance of SOA, it’s crucial to understand what it is and…

Bridge Pattern: Decoupling Abstraction from Implementation

The Bridge Pattern is a structural design pattern that plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between abstraction and its implementation, allowing them to evolve independently. This design pattern is particularly useful in scenarios where software entities change frequently both in terms of their complex implementations and their abstraction layers. This guide explains the…
