Modular architecture
An architecture pattern design for large scale projects. Unlike homogenous systems, Modular architecture proposes to separate functionality in modules to increase the maintainability of complex systems.
Advantages
-
Modules simplify building, running, testing and packaging our code
-
Each module is able to work independently
-
In the implementation, modules can work as a black box where we only care about their inputs, outputs or transfer characteristics
-
Security increases since dependencies between modules are not strong
-
Reusability
Disadvantages
-
Performance reduced
-
Excessive modularization leads to a fractured system
