Software Architecture with C++: Design modern systems using effective architecture concepts, design patterns, and techniques with C++20

by Adrian Ostrowski, Piotr Gaczkowski

Apply business requirements to IT infrastructure and deliver a high-quality product by understanding architectures such as microservices, DevOps, and cloud-native using modern C++ standards and features Software architecture refers to the high-level design of complex applications. It is evolving just like the languages we use, but there are architectural concepts and patterns that you can learn to write high-performance apps in a high-level language without sacrificing readability and maintainability. If you're working with modern C++, this practical guide will help you put your knowledge to work and design distributed, large-scale apps. You'll start by getting up to speed with architectural concepts, including established patterns and rising trends, then move on to understanding what software architecture actually is and start exploring its components. Next, you'll discover the design concepts involved in application architecture and the patterns in software development, before going on to learn how to build, package, integrate, and deploy your components. In the concluding chapters, you'll explore different architectural qualities, such as maintainability, reusability, testability, performance, scalability, and security. Finally, you will get an overview of distributed systems, such as service-oriented architecture, microservices, and cloud-native, and understand how to apply them in application development. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build distributed services using modern C++ and associated tools to deliver solutions as per your clients' requirements. This software architecture C++ programming book is for experienced C++ developers looking to become software architects or develop enterprise-grade applications.

The book tries to describe too much things, mostly an enumeration of tools an techniques. Skims over everything and doesn’t have time to go deep enough in any of the topics.

[Aliaksei Ivanou · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a well-written, concise overview of modern software infrastructure and tools. I appreciate the writing style and the practical examples, which are easy to understand. Some of the examples have proven useful to me in my current work. However, my critique of the book is that overall, it feels like a collection of topics that are often just introduced and mentioned briefly without being thoroughly described. While the book offers a good starting point and provides insight into various areas, it could benefit from more in-depth coverage of these topics to truly enhance understanding and practical application.

В целом книга очень интересная, которая позволяет с минимальной базой в плане архитектуры научиться мыслить более масштабно и понимать особенности разработки ПО в том или ином варианте.

Особенным плюсом для меня стала секция вопросов в конце каждой главы, котороя позволяет проверить самого себя в понимании прочитанного + автор сам выделяет главное в главе. Такого мне постоянного не хватает в технической литературе.

Из минусов я бы выделил факт, что автор пишет обо всем и по немногу. Тут куснул, там куснул и тд. При этом в конце каждой главы есть секция Further reading для более глубокго изучения вопроса, но наборчик из доп. книг получается большой.
