Architectural terms exercise

Here's a list of terms that are used to describe the architecture of systems. Feel free to suggest terms that are missing from the list. Pick at least three terms each. Take some time to research what each term stands for. Then explain it to your colleague by drawing the most important components onto this Miro board.

  • Client-server
  • P2P
  • 3-tier-architecture
  • Microservice
  • Serverless
  • (Forward) proxy
  • Reverse proxy
  • Content delivery network
  • Load balancer
