Software Architecture
Software Development and Engineering Practices
Software architecture is the high-level structural design of a software system, defining its components, their interactions, and the principles guiding its evolution, such as microservices, layered, or event-driven architectures. Software architects make foundational decisions about scalability, performance, and maintainability early in a project's lifecycle. This role bridges business requirements and technical implementation, often guiding teams of engineers.
