Book Description

Software Architecture with Kotlin is an insightful guide that explores various styles of software architecture with a focus on using the Kotlin programming language. This book delves into the principles, practices, and patterns that shape the architectural landscape of modern software systems.

The book starts by establishing a strong foundation in software architecture, explaining key concepts such as architectural qualities and principles. You’ll learn how architectural decisions impact the quality of a system, such as scalability, reliability, and extendability. It address modern architecture topics like microservices, serverless, and event-driven architectures, providing insights into the challenges and trade-offs involved in adopting these architectural styles. You’ll discover practical tools that will help you make informed decisions and mitigate risks. All architectural patterns in this book are demonstrated using Kotlin.

With its practical approach, real-world examples, and focus on Kotlin, this book will help you become a more proficient and impactful software architect.
