Software Architecture Superstream: Software Architecture Trade-Offs
by Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Sarah Wells, Jonathan Johnson, Abel Fresnillo Silva
Overview
One of the most difficult tasks an architect will face is untangling the various forces and trade-offs at play in their architectures—and that’s particularly true for distributed systems. If an architect thinks they’ve discovered something that isn’t a trade-off, more likely they just haven’t identified what the trade-off is yet. After all, as the first law of software architecture states: Everything in software architecture is a trade-off.
While the scope of software architecture is almost impossibly broad, unifying elements do exist. But to truly understand and evaluate the significance of trade-offs in architecture, developers need a working knowledge of basic concepts and terminology concerning components, modularity, coupling, and connascence. These expert-led sessions will level up your skills and help you work through the complexity and trade-offs in your own system.
