Architecture Skills
Overview
This module covers fundamental and advanced architecture concepts applicable across all technology stacks.
Categories
Principles
Core software design principles that guide architectural decisions.
- SOLID Principles
- DRY, KISS, YAGNI
- Separation of Concerns
- Dependency Inversion
Patterns
High-level architecture patterns for organizing systems.
- Clean Architecture
- Hexagonal Architecture

- Domain-Driven Design
- CQRS & Event Sourcing
- Microservices
Design Patterns
Reusable solutions to common design problems.
- Creational: Factory, Builder, Singleton, DI
- Structural: Adapter, Decorator, Facade, Repository
- Behavioral: Strategy, Observer, Command, State Machine
Distributed Systems
Patterns for building distributed applications.
- Service Communication
- Data Consistency
- Resilience Patterns
- Event-Driven Architecture
Decision Making
Tools and frameworks for architectural decisions.
- Architecture Decision Records (ADR)
- Trade-off Analysis
- Documentation Best Practices
When to Use
- Starting new projects
