The high-level design and description of a software system. Architectural design distills away details of implementations, algorithms, and data representation to concentrate on the interaction of "black box" components.
Typically, I place authorization decisions in my server side controllers. These have been RESTful endpoints recently, but I think the same stands for MVC type architectures. For the sake of argument assume that it's role based authorisation. A…
In almost all circumstances, primary keys are not a part of your business domain. Sure, you may have some important user-facing objects with unique indices (UserName for users or OrderNumber for orders) but in most cases, there is no business need…

Premature/Unnecessary optimization efforts
Premature deduplication with questionable abstractions
For example, we use a modified VIPER architecture. He introduced a base class…
We are looking at improving the process for handing over tasks from architecture to development.

I can read the website blurb and be impressed by the alleged benefits, but I haven't worked anywhere or with anyone who followed the TOGAF (or any alternative) architecture framework.

I always feel disconnected between abstract machines (such as Turing machines) and computer architectures (including virtual machines' architectures, Von Neumann's achitecture).
So I would like to know how they are related? How do one influence the…

I am currently tasked with creating a software architecture for compliance with IEC 62304. These regulations are notoriously vague, and do not provide any real substance as to what is required for a "software architecture". The standard…
I'm having some trouble finding a proper solution to the following architecture problem.
In our setting (sketched below) we have 2 data sources, where data source A is the primary source for items of type Foo. A secondary data source exists which…

Most instructions can be divided into one of two categories: register-memory or register-register.
Register-memory instructions allow memory words to be fetched into registers, where, for example,…

I am developing a web based application whose primary objective is to fetch data from the database, display it on the UI, take in user inputs and write them back to the database. The application is not going to be doing any industrial strength…
Does your company have architectural principles that are written and agreed upon? How did they come about? How do you manage ownership and acceptance of these principles? Are they helping you or hinder you?
I am trying to find a name for this architectural pattern that I have seen in many places before:
Poller - (There are a number of these)
These are either plugins or services acting on there own
