The Distributed Style

The distributed architectural style is primarily concerned with managing the complexity of building and maintaining software systems that are spread across multiple physical or virtual machines, potentially in different locations. Typically, they involve multiple components that communicate and collaborate to achieve a common goal.

There are six variants we’re going to cover

  1. The Client-Server Architectural Pattern
  2. The Peer to Peer Architectural Pattern
  3. The Microservice Architectural Pattern
  4. The Service-Oriented Architectural Pattern
  5. The Serverless Architectural Pattern
  6. The Cloud Computing Architectural Pattern

This is an online wiki about the main topics over the last 40 years of software design, architecture & testing. It was created by Khalil Stemmler.

This wiki's mission is to help eliminate the unknown unknowns, helping you get up to speed on the best practices and principles to write testable, flexible, and maintainable code.

I created this wiki while I was connecting the dots on my own path. You can read more about that learning journey in the introduction
