Great introduction to and refresher to Software Architecture Patterns with good balance between text and graphics.
The chapter format is perfect to assimilate and consistently good throughout the book.
The "Pattern analysis" section in each chapter is immensely useful for beginners to justify usage of a pattern and make better decisions. Of course it's not an absolute truth, but it'll definitely help.
I highly recommend this book to anyone writing software.

Nice and quick overview of some software architecture patterns. I was particularly curious about the Microservices Architecture but since this is just some kind of high-level summary I need to dig in a little more on this one.
Brief, but useful. Gives nice overview of several architecture patterns. In case you need deeper information about the those patterns, you'll have to find additional source of information.
brief, clean and usable description
It gives a very high level overview of a few types of architectural patterns. For a detailed introduction or deep dive into each pattern you will need to look out for other books.
This book can get you started quickly in the direction of using some of these patterns depending on your requirements.

I'm currently writing a dissertation about software architecture and i find this book a really good source of information. Its short, concise and gets straight to the point. The author did a pretty good job exposing his view of the subject and although its not an absolute truth, its a valid point of view.
I recommend this book to every developer looking to start a new project.

A short but useful summary of several software architecture patterns: Layered Architecture, Event-driven Architecture, Microkernel Architecture, Microservices Architecture, and Space-based (aka Cloud) Architecture.
Each description read like a detailed blog post in depth, but it was useful having the patterns described together.

Excellent introduction. Was far more clear and the why and when to use a particular pattern and served as a far better resource than the chapter in Sommerville's Intro to Software Engineering on the subject.
Quick overview on some of the major software architecture patterns.
For each, you can find out more about the description, considerations, and pattern analysis that give you a good idea about:
- Overall agility
- Ease of deployment
- Testability
- Performance
- Scalability
- Ease of development
Great book if you just want a shallow introduction on the topic.

Excellent catalog of architectural patterns described and compared in a succinct manner. It really helps as an introduction to that complex matter, after which you can pick up a single pattern and delve into details with the appropriate book.
A very good introduction to architecture patterns, with great illustrative graphics.
What I like the most about this report, is that it clarify clearly the pros, cons, and usage for every mentioned architecture, without long boring paragraphs, or a lot of “it depends” phrases.

Brief and informative.
Good for those who want to quick ideas about architecture patterns.

Overall pretty good content. The only thing that I found annoying was that author made multiple statements related to Java and you need to have Java knowledge to understand/relate to them.
fast to read, very good brief, easy to grasp, if you need deep information you can look for another resources
A quick read and a good foundation on different architectures and reasons for using them.
Comparison based analogy. It can be a good start on getting practical with Design Patterns.
It is a short a great book to understand the most relevant software architectures. I think it is a great book if you want to get the fundamentals. It is easy a pretty straight forward book.
Simple. Quick reading that is worth remembering the main architectural patterns.
The book presents some architectural patterns and compares them. It is not deep (it was expected given its size), but the author did a great job summarizing the ideas in so few words.
quick read, worth picking up, probably you'll learn something
Quick overview with little detail.
I understand this is a free book, but bare in mind:
- the list of architectures explained is not extensive - I can name at least a few of very-famous and very used architectures that I'd expect to find place in the book. LMAX, Share-nothing, SOA, etc...
- some of the explanations of the architectures are at very high level - It is a nice and handy recap for the ones you already know, but it is not easy imagining the new ones from the very abstract and high-level explanations. I think more examples ...more

This book compares two mainstream patterns with following characteristics (quote):
I haven't enjoyed this small free-book very much. It's written in black-or-white style: there are just two patterns and there is always something how to distinguish between first and second one. It's not bad - there are good and valid ...more
SOA is build on the concept of share-as-much-as-possible architecture style, whereas
microservices architecture is built on the concept of share-as-little-as-possible architecture style

A short yet information-packed report on the following software architectural styles: Layered, Event-Driven, Microkernel, Microservices and Space-base (aka Cloud-based). It does what it should pretty well considering the length, but I wish it provided a bit more information (e.g. the Microservices and Event-Driven architectures sound practically the same, and two segments are even interchanged by mistake, where some considerations about the Microservices architecture are given under the chapter

A short, straightforward introduction to several common patterns and their pluses and minuses. These are summarized in a useful table at the end.
I did notice one place where text had been copied and pasted from another section and not revised, and a few sentences that were partially revised and thus didn't make complete grammatical sense, but otherwise this was a well-written and clear summary of the topic.

A fantastic refresher of the major software architecture patterns every programmer worth their salt should be aware of. The diagrams are large, and clear, and the explanations and breakdowns are concise and to the point. It's not a large reference, but it's large enough to do its job admirably without you needing to research around for more information.
Strongly recommend it as a refresher to any programmer.

Good summary of the standard patterns. Very high level and lacks more than very basic implementation example though. Write-ups on the pros and cons are some what he helpful but usually not fully explained why something would be harder to test or develop than another pattern. At ~60 pages though there isn't room for much depth.
Good overview of several patterns suitable for novices. (I consider myself one.) I did find myself thinking that none of the frameworks I am familiar with (Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, Wordpress, CakePHP) stricly follow any one of these patterns, but rather use bits of each dependent on the particular aspect of what your'e looking at.
Overall good, summary description and comparing of 5 Main architectures, weaker last chapter about spaced based architectures ie. Grid and Cloud. Lack of stuff like lambda architecture used in big data applications.
Quick and easy guide to basic software architecture patterns.
