Architecture is the outcome of the analysis process, and it defines the components, their properties, the connection between components, and the properties of those connections. Architecture is the driving force of any engineering project, including software! Whether you choose it or it just happened, all systems have an architecture.
Not all projects start with a solid architecture and some projects are over architectured.
In this talk, we discuss the meaning of software architecture and the architect's role. Then, we look at successful projects and those that failed and provide us the food of thought and the lesson to learn.
Finally, we will surface the software-architecture fashion move toured the microservice architecture, micro frontend, and cloud approach, and how these changes influence the architect's role.
