A comprehensive guide to hexagonal architecture: ports and adapters, driving vs driven sides, dependency inversion at the core, practical folder structure, testing with mock adapters, comparing to layered architecture, and real-world examples of swapping infrastructure.
A comprehensive guide to microservices architecture: core principles, service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management patterns, API gateways, testing strategies, organizational alignment, and when NOT to use microservices.
Master Clean Architecture with the dependency rule, concentric layers (entities, use cases, interface adapters, frameworks), practical Spring Boot and Node.js implementations, and comparisons with Hexagonal and Onion architectures.
Understand Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control from Martin Fowler's foundational article. Learn Constructor, Setter, and Interface Injection with practical examples in TypeScript, and compare DI with Service Locator.
Master the Adapter and Facade structural design patterns with TypeScript, Python, and Java examples. Learn to integrate incompatible interfaces, simplify complex subsystems, and choose between these two essential patterns.
A comprehensive comparison of MVC, MVP, and MVVM architectural patterns — their origins, how they separate concerns in UI code, practical implementations in Spring MVC, Android, Angular, and React, and how to choose the right pattern for your project.
A comprehensive guide to layered (N-tier) architecture: presentation, business logic, and data access layers, strict vs relaxed layering, dependency direction, common mistakes, and when layered architecture breaks down.
Master the Prototype design pattern with TypeScript, Python, and Java examples. Learn shallow vs deep copy, prototype registries, and when cloning objects is better than creating new ones from scratch.
A deep dive into monolithic architecture: what it is, when it's the right choice, how to structure a well-organized monolith, scaling strategies, common anti-patterns, and when to consider breaking it apart.
Master the Builder design pattern with practical TypeScript, Python, and Java implementations. Learn how to construct complex objects step by step, implement fluent interfaces, and avoid the telescoping constructor anti-pattern.
