A modern approach to program architecture: complex compromises. Ford I., Richard M.

There are no simple solutions in the software architecture. On the contrary, there are a lot of difficulties - tasks and problems for which there are no ready -made answers and you have to choose between different compromises. This book will teach you to critically relate to compromises related to distributed architectures.

Experienced architects Neil Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalazh and Zhamak Dehgani discuss the strategies for choosing an architecture suitable for certain cases. The story of Sysops Squad - a fictional group of specialists - allows you to explore all aspects of the choice of architecture: from determining the degree of granular services, managing the work processes and orchestration, separating contracts and managing distributed transactions to optimization of such operational characteristics as scalability, adaptability and performance.
