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. ...more

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.
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.
Not worth reading.
» "Microservices Architecture" section is confusing and suggests using a shared database, which is definitely not a good idea when it comes to this style of architecture.
» "Pattern Analysis" sections for each pattern are very controversial.
» The last pattern "Space-based Architecture" lacks a real world example.
» Some tecnologies mentioned are very outdated (for a book written in 2015-2017). ...more

Quick summary of all the types of System Architecture with good comparison and examples

the first thing that comes to my mind is that book is software architecture in a nutshell, the book describes some of the famous architectures with describing each one and illustrated examples with some pros and cons from the author's point of view, I think the size of this book is very small but you could grasp the whole idea behind mentioned architectures in no time which was good to me to read it in breaks or spare time without big focusing.

Quick overview of common patterns. It's short and available for free online (see book description).

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
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.

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. ...more

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.

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.
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.
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.
Simple. Quick reading that is worth remembering the main architectural patterns.
Brief and clear.

I don't think it's a good book for learning software architecture or to use it as a reference for architecture patterns as it's too short and shallow and incomplete.
...more
Nice examples, but very limited choice of arch. patterns
A good overview of some architectural patterns at a high level which is expected given how short the book it. Missing some major patterns.
Just a few patterns, simply discussed. It turns into a br0chure on this and that pattern. Just a few patterns. I'm sure there are more patterns.

Fascinating book, simple and to the point, a very nice beginning in my opinion on the long road of varying modern computer architectures
