Book Description

Lea how to create successful architectural designs and improve your current design practices!Designing Software Architectures, 2nd Edition, provides a practical, step-by-step methodology for architecture design that any professional software engineer can use, with structured methods supported by reusable chunks of design knowledge and rich case studies that demonstrate how to use the methods.In this newly updated edition, Humberto Cervantes and Rick Kazman illuminate best practices for how architects should design complex systems. You will find new chapters on supporting business agility through API-centric design, deployability, cloud-based solutions, and technical debt in design. This edition places more emphasis on the design of cloud-based solutions and APIs for distributed systems so you can make design decisions in systematic, repeatable, and cost-effective ways.The Attribute-Driven Design method may not have changed since this book’s first printing, but almost everything else about the industry has. This book will help you become a better, more confident designer who can create high-quality architectures with ease.The new edition includes:An explanation of the Attribute-Driven Design methodNew chapters focused on the technical environments and contexts of contemporary designTwo new case studies on The Hotel Pricing System and Digital Twin PlatformCoverage of current architecture topics like cloud computing, DevOps, and technical debtMethods to make architecture design agile and achievableRegister your product at informit.com/register for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
