Introduction to Software
Architecture
Software architecture defines the high-level structure of a software system. It involves the organization of components, their
interactions, and the technologies used. A well-designed architecture promotes maintainability, scalability, and performance.
Key Principles and Concepts

4 Scalability
Designing systems that can handle increased workloads and data volumes without compromising performance.

Challenges and Best Practices
1 Evolving Requirements
Adapting the architecture to meet changing needs while maintaining consistency and stability.
2 Technology Choices
Selecting appropriate technologies that balance cost, performance, and maintainability.
3 Performance Optimization
Ensuring that the architecture meets performance targets and scales effectively under load.
