System Design Concepts

Modern architecture approaches

  • Monolith: Simple architecture for small apps.
  • Microservices: Scalable distributed systems.
  • Event Driven: Asynchronous architecture.
  • Serverless: Cloud native applications.
  • Containers: Application packaging.
  • Kubernetes: Container orchestration.
  • Observability: Monitoring and logging.

Both architectures have advantages depending on system complexity and team size.
