Get a brief overview of the architectural components involved in designing scalable applications and systems.

Scalability & System Design for Developers

This module offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. It covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

Software Architecture in Applications

# Overview

**Architecture drivers** are the considerations that must be made for architecturally significant software systems. So, what are these considerations? How do we make this a complete process? 

Microsoft recommended one of these guidelines, known as the #key# architecture meta-frame:Microsoft® Application Architecture Guide, 2nd Edition (Patterns & Practices). 2009. Microsoft Press. #key#. Similar guidelines can be found within the #key# literature:Maciaszek, Leszek, Tomasz Skalniak, and Grzegorz Biziel. "A meta-architecture for service-oriented systems and applications." Fourth International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design. 2014. #key# as well.
The architecture meta-frame can be considered as a checklist. It defines certain guidelines that define how to perform certain tasks. Using these guidelines, we can see our application, and decide which architectural style suits our needs best.
