Abstractions & Encapsulation
Use stable façades and information hiding to manage complexity, evolve safely, and enforce boundaries
Use stable façades and information hiding to manage complexity, evolve safely, and enforce boundaries
How to tell architecture decisions from design and implementation, with cues, examples, and a flow.
The core building blocks of systems: components, the connectors between them, and the configurations that shape runtime behavior.
Pure functions, immutability, and composition for correctness, concurrency, and testability.
Define crisp boundaries and explicit, testable contracts to decouple teams and evolve systems safely.
Clear definitions, interactions, and practical tuning to hit latency SLOs without sacrificing throughput.
Disciplined control flow for linear workflows and I/O orchestration; strengths, trade-offs, and when to use.
Master the fundamentals of systems thinking for software architecture: components, connectors, configurations, interfaces, and abstractions to reason about change, risk, and evolution.
