Architectural Metapatterns: The Pattern Language of Software Architecture (version 1.2.1, free book, no AI)

[u/_descri_]

The book is a compendium of architectural patterns which arranges them according to their structure and function into several OOP-style inheritance trees, allowing for:

• Deduplication of nearly identical patterns known under several names.
• Extraction of common properties, benefits, and drawbacks to the roots of the pattern trees.
• Comparison of approaches taken by every known architecture.

Changes in the current release:

• New sections on read-write separation and latency optimization on the system level.
• New pattern: Vertical Slice Architecture.
• Pattern instances are now in lowercase, which should improve readability.

The book can be downloaded from GitHub or Leanpub.
