Architectural Paradigms & Patterns in Software Development

Man-made digital constructs leverage recurring techniques and architectures to address systemic concerns amid the growing complexity of product development, both technical and domain-specific. Software development paradigms define how systems are designed, organized, and how their components interact to achieve applicative coherence. A well-designed software architecture enables efficient system maintenance and evolution over time. This ensures consistent development efforts, providing shareholders and stakeholders with clear visibility into capacity and capabilities while allowing reliable anticipation of expenses.

We propose a bulk simplification for categorization by the following:

• Architecture: Defines the overall structure of the codebase (e.g., Layered, Clean, Hexagonal). here
• Pattern: Specific design solutions for recurring problems (e.g., Repository, Facade, CQRS). here
