Software Architecture Concepts and Patterns

The video discusses the importance of software architecture, comparing it to building foundations. It explores five key architecture patterns: layered, event-driven, microkernel, microservices, and monolithic. Each pattern is explained with examples, benefits, and trade-offs. The video concludes by emphasizing the choice of architecture based on specific needs and invites viewers to engage with the content.

What is the primary purpose of software architecture in applications?

• To ensure the application functions correctly and efficiently

• To enhance the visual appeal of the application

• To increase the cost of development

• To make the application more complex

Which pattern is a specialized form of layered architecture?

• Event-driven

• Microservices

• Model-View-Presenter (MVP)

• Monolithic

What is the main advantage of using layered architecture?

• It simplifies user interface design

• It reduces the need for testing

• It promotes separation of concerns

• It allows for faster development

In event-driven architecture, what is the role of components?

• To broadcast and subscribe to events

• To directly call each other

• To manage data consistency

• To handle user interface design

What does CQRS stand for in event-driven architecture?

• Command Query Responsibility Segregation

• Centralized Query Routing System

• Central Query Response System

• Command Queue Response Service

What is a key feature of microkernel architecture?

• It combines all functionalities into a single unit

• It separates core functionality from extended features

• It focuses on user interface design

• It is primarily used for small applications

Which application is an example of microkernel architecture?

• Google Chrome

• Microsoft Word

• Eclipse IDE

• Netflix

What is a major benefit of microservices architecture?

• It reduces the need for APIs

• It allows independent scaling of services

• It simplifies the codebase

• It is easier to deploy as a single unit

What is a characteristic of monolithic architecture?

• It bundles all components into a single codebase

• It separates functionalities into small services

• It uses a microkernel for core functionalities

• It is inherently event-driven

What is a 'modular monolith'?

• A microkernel with no plugins

• An event-driven system with centralized control

• A microservices architecture with a single codebase

• A monolithic architecture with clear modular boundaries
