Top 10 architecture every engineer should know

Monolith: Traditional, single-codebase application structure.
Microservices: Small, independent services that work together.
Layered: Separates code into layers (e.g., presentation, business logic, data).
MVC (Model-View-Controller): Divides application logic into three interconnected components.
Plugin: Extendable application where plugins add functionality.
Hexagonal (Ports and Adapters), Clean Architecture: Emphasizes decoupling and independent core logic.

Data Management: Efficient handling and storage of data.
Cache-Aside: Temporarily stores data in a cache for faster access.
CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) & Event Sourcing: Splits read and write logic; records state changes as events.
Messaging: Communication between services.
Pub-Sub (Publisher-Subscriber): Event-driven model where publishers and subscribers interact indirectly.
Saga (Orchestrator, Choreography): Manages complex transactions in microservices.
Pipes and Filters: Data flows through stages of processing.
Sidecar: Helper service deployed alongside the main service.
Frontend for Backend, Micro Frontends: Tailored front-end architecture for specific backend needs.
Gateway Aggregation: Combines multiple services into a single endpoint.

Imperative: Code defines how to achieve the result.
Structural: Focuses on the program’s structure, like procedural programming.
Object-Oriented (OOP): Organizes code into objects with properties and methods.
Declarative: Code defines what the result should be, without specifying how.
Functional: Emphasizes pure functions and immutability.
Other Paradigms: Includes Logic, Reactive, etc.

Design Patterns: Standard solutions to common coding problems.
- Structural Patterns: e.g., Facade, Adapter.
- Creational Patterns: e.g., Singleton, Factory, Builder.
- Behavioral Patterns: e.g., Strategy, Chain of Responsibility.
SOLID, KISS, YAGNI, and DRY: Foundational principles for cleaner, maintainable code.
Programming Language-Specific Best Practices: Guidelines tailored to each language’s idioms and standards.
