Key Concepts in Software Architecture
At the heart of every software system lies a set of components that collaborate to deliver functionality. Think of a software system as a city, where you have:
They are like buildings, each with its own function.
They are like utilities. Independent and reusable across buildings.
They organize everything into logical zones, like commercial, residential, and industrial areas.
These components aren't isolated and they form structured relationships and interact through well-defined interfaces.
Understanding relationships between components helps you create clean, maintainable systems. Components should be loosely coupled (independent) and highly cohesive (focused on a single task). This makes them easier to test, update, and replace.
