Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Pros and Cons - Facade Design Pattern

The video tutorial explains the challenges of API complexity and client dependency, introducing the Facade design pattern as a solution. By implementing a console class as a facade, the dependency on APIs is reduced, allowing internal changes without affecting the client. The facade pattern offers advantages like weak coupling and reduced compilation dependencies. It provides a simple interface to complex systems while allowing access to underlying classes. However, overuse can lead to performance issues. The pattern is useful for creating simplified interfaces, avoiding low-level function dependencies, and accommodating team members with varying experience levels.
