The pattern language of software architecture | MetapatternsThe pattern language of software architecture<br>Patterns of software architecture are all interrelated (no pattern is an island). You can rarely make a product in a pure architectural style, and the chances for it to survive undistorted over years are negligible. Software grows iteratively and adapts to its environment.<br>Architectural Metapatterns is all about patterns and their relations. It generalizes hundreds of individual patterns into several wider classes (metapatterns) each of which can be applied to a local or distributed system to change its properties in a certain way. Rinse and repeat.<br>The content is lavishly illustrated with intuitive NoUML diagrams. It’s concise and AI-free.<br>Have a good time!<br>The map of system topologies<br>The book<br>This website is an online version of my book Architectural Metapatterns: The Pattern Language of Software Architecture which can be downloaded from GitHub or Leanpub.<br>It is a compendium of architectural patterns which sorts them out into a tree-like hierarchy based on the pattern&rsquo;s structure and function. This allows for grouping hundreds of patterns into less then 20 classes and exploring the common features, applicability, and performance of each class.<br>It also includes supplementary topics that range from the discussion on the nature of complexity to the comparison of orchestration, choreography, and integration through shared data. Aside of that, there is a wide range of evolutions which show how a system may change under different forces.<br>Architectural Metapatterns is AI-free, 440 pages long, and includes hundreds of box-and-arrow diagrams.<br>If you like the book or website, please tell your friends about them.
