Software Architecture Styles

Agent skill
1 skill

Reference for high-level system architecture styles — MVC (and its siblings MVP/MVVM), microservices vs. monoliths, message-oriented architecture, and publish/subscribe — covering what each solves, its real costs, and how to tell which fits a given system. Use this whenever the user is deciding how to structure a new system or service, asking whether to split a monolith into microservices, designing how components communicate (sync request/response vs. async messaging vs. events), or asking to explain/justify/critique an architectural choice.

Install with
