Something I tell all my consulting clients - if you can work productively with the codebase, then it’s clean enough, even if it doesn’t follow all the principles you read about. The sole purpose of software design is to help you maintain the codebase. Applying DDD to the letter means nothing if you have to spend more time thinking about the proper structure than the features you’re building. I can't stress this enough. Not everything has to match a specific design pattern. Not everything has to be a part of a complex class hierarchy. Not every domain can be modeled after a specific architecture Architecture is a means to an end, not a goal on its own. The reason we try to make our codebases cleaner, more understandable, and easier to work with is so they can be maintained over a long period of time. You'd never refactor a bash script that you have to run once. Why? Because you'll never have to look at it again. Your codebase, however, can live for years. But in our attempts to make everything better, cleaner, and structured, we stray away from that idea. Time and time again, I see teams struggle because of over-engineering rather than under-engineering.

Top 5 Software Architectural Patterns . . In software development, architecture plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and behavior of software systems. It provides a blueprint for system design, detailing how components interact with each other to deliver specific functionality. They also offer solutions to common problems, saving time and effort and leading to more robust and maintainable systems. However, with the vast array of architectural styles and patterns available, it can take time to discern which approach best suits a particular project or system. Aims to shed light on these concepts, helping you make informed decisions in your architectural endeavors. To help you navigate the vast landscape of architectural styles and patterns, there is a cheat sheet that encapsulates all. This cheat sheet is a handy reference guide that you can use to quickly recall the main characteristics of each architectural style and pattern.

Now with more formal experience (and a little bit of free time), I'm writing my own annotations on various topics, like Software Architecture, Design Patterns, etc. I thought sharing the knowledge would be a good idea, and thus here is my first post on Design Patterns: today, Dependency Injection. Dependency Injection is a very simple and easy to implement concept that is very useful and can be used to understand more complex patterns. In simple words, it means passing an object (A) to another object (B), so B can make use of A's behaviors. The core idea is that a client (B) needs to use a service (A) through an interface (public methods), this is called a dependency, and instead of making B have the same functionality as A, or instantiating A in B's code, simply stating that it expects to receive the dependency allows B to use A, C, D or any service as long as the interface (API, or the expected methods) is the same. In the example below, the revised code doesn’t have the send functionality and does not know what it does, it just trusts that the service passed at instantiation works as expected. This way, new services can be written down and the Sender class does not need to change, it is loosely coupled now.

Modern architecture is about understanding the tradeoffs and mapping existing solutions to your needs. Reinventing the wheel is a massive time-sink. Could have saved me some painful hours had I knew what I know now. Big shout-out to Alex Xu and team for their work on making common architectural patterns accessible.
