Definitions of Various Architecture Types
Listed below are some of the common types of software architecture, but it is important to consider that, often, real-world applications may use a combination of these architectures to meet specific requirements. The choice of architecture depends on factors such as the application’s complexity, scalability needs, and development team’s expertise.
NOTE: Software architecture refers to the high-level design and organization of a software system. There are several types of software architectures, each with its own characteristics and suitability for different types of applications. Here are some common types of software architecture:
Monolithic Architecture:
· In a monolithic architecture, the entire software application is developed as a single, self-contained unit.
· All components and functions are tightly integrated into a single codebase.
· Typically, it’s easier to develop and test but can become difficult to maintain and scale as the application grows.
Client-Server Architecture:
· In this architecture, the software is divided into two main components: the client and the server.
· Clients (e.g., web browsers, mobile apps) request services or resources from servers.
· Servers process requests and provide responses, often over a network.
· This architecture is common for web applications and distributed systems.
Microservices Architecture:
· In a microservices architecture, a complex application is divided into small, independently deployable services.
· Each service focuses on a specific business capability and communicates with others through APIs or messaging.
· Microservices can improve scalability, flexibility, and maintainability but require a robust infrastructure.
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA):
· SOA is a design approach where software components (services) provide functionality as reusable services over a network.
· Services are loosely coupled and can be combined to create applications.
· It emphasizes interoperability and can be used in enterprise-level systems.
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA):
· EDA focuses on the flow of events (e.g., messages, notifications) between software components.
· Components react to events and communicate asynchronously.
· It’s often used for real-time systems, IoT, and event-driven applications.
Layered Architecture:
· In layered architecture, software is divided into distinct layers, each responsible for a specific set of tasks.
· Common layers include presentation, application logic, and data storage.
· It promotes separation of concerns and maintainability.
Component-Based Architecture:
· This architecture breaks the software into reusable, self-contained components.
· Components can be developed independently and combined to create applications.
· Common in graphical user interfaces and software development frameworks.
N-Tier Architecture:
· N-tier architecture divides an application into multiple layers or tiers, often including presentation, business logic, and data storage.
· It’s used for building scalable and maintainable enterprise-level applications.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Architecture:
· In P2P architecture, nodes (computers) communicate and collaborate without a centralized server.
· It’s common in file sharing and decentralized networks.
Serverless Architecture:
· Serverless architecture abstracts server management away from developers.
· Developers write functions that are executed in response to events or requests without managing the underlying infrastructure.
We’ve Been In Business Since 1991
Since 1991 we have prioritized our customers’ software development needs into one category; important! And whether we’re asked to provide an outside perspective, assess your architecture and present recommendations, or join your team and make sure the project goes smoothly and is accomplished on budget and on time, the first time, you get a company and a resource that has earned a reputation as a proven asset.
Experience and Soft-Skills Equal Success
Our technical expertise stands on its own but is only one of many value-adds you get from our consultants. We are not a body shop. Our consults are experts in their field and pride themselves on bringing more to the project. Clear communication and soft skills are just part of the package when you hire Intertech. The ability to ask hard questions without offending or fear of retribution is another benefit of an outside perspective from consultants with a network of senior talent in their corner. You get more with Intertech./p>
We Bring Exceptional Value At A Fair Price
Because our consultants have high expectations for your project, and we have high expectations for them, you get more for your money. We may not have the lowest hourly rate among the companies bidding on your RFP, but we do not compromise. Experience has shown us that hiring high-quality people and doing the job right the first time always costs you less than having the wrong people on the project and having to do it over. Talk to someone that has worked with Intertech. You will realize that with us, you get more for your money, and since 1991 that has been a hard and fast truth.
We Provide A Proven Process To Achieve Success If You Don’t Have One
- The Important Phases Of Your Project
- Discovery
- Design
- Assignments & Process
- Completion
- Graphic
- Recruit & Hire
We Begin With Everything Necessary To Ensure The Project Team Is Complete
The discovery stage is crucial when setting up the correct team to deliver your project successfully. At times this has been completed before our introduction to the project. In these cases, you may have determined that you only need specific roles added to your project teams, and that is just one way we can help augment your team. Other times clients ask us to take on this role to get an expert outside perspective. Either way, this phase is essential and must be considered to be confident that you have the right talent in place and that what you are building or modifying integrates with your existing system.
Tools & Techniques We Employee:
- Scope Detailing
- Analysis
- Technical Evaluation
- Initial Requirements Defined
- Define Delivery Strategy and Roadmap
- Leveling Workshops (For Your FTE Team Members – As Needed)
Building A Strong Foundation Is The Key To Success
Converting your vision into reality requires a clear picture of requirements and the experience to set a strong foundation. Using the Software Requirements Analysis, the design phase encompasses how the application and users interact with each other, the current infrastructure, and other applications. In addition, this phase deals with architecture, the user interface, and the user experience, so all the elements come together seamlessly.
Areas Considered During The Design Phase:
- Infrastructure
- Architecture
- User Interface & Experience Design
- Usability Testing
We Ensure All The Pieces Are In Place For A Successful Composition
When selecting your team, we ensure it fits your needs rather than ours. Of course, top talent is a key to our success, but a proper blend is a formula for project success. At Intertech, we take our responsibility seriously, and experience tells us what works and what doesn’t. Based on this, and using what we’ve learned in stage one and stage two, we define your team, whether you are filling the role or we are, estimate the timeline, and keep you updated every step of the project, so there are no surprises.
Areas Considered In The Build Phase:
- Technical Requirements
- Timeline
- Development
- Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing
- Incremental Product Release (Faster to Market)
- Refinement & Deployment
We Ensure All The Pieces Are In Place For A Successful Handoff
Following the final release, we make sure you are in control. Whether you keep us around as a trusted partner or have us hand it off to your team, we understand that a solid knowledge base is one of the most important aspects of a project. Therefore, following deployment and before we hand over the keys, we always include 30 days of monitoring and mentoring to ensure a smooth roll-off and that your internal team is in control.
Areas Considered In The Completion Phase:
- Support & Lifecycle
- Documentation
- Knowledge Base Retention
