Foreword

To understand is to perceive patterns.

- Isaiah Berlin

Architecting a good software solution is in many ways very much like the art of

cooking a great meal. Just like a chef needs to have a broad knowledge of various

ingredients that go into a meal, an architect needs to have a broad understanding of

potential technologies and tools that he would need for a software solution. Just like

a good chef masters the techniques of combining his raw ingredients into a delicious

course, a good architect should know when and how to use and blend various

software components to come up with elegant and eficient solutions. Just like a

chef's work is conined by physical conditions and customer requirements, so is the

work of a software architect. Both need the right kind of discipline and structure to

cope with external constraints. So knowledge, experience, discipline, and structure

are critical, but as any good chef or architect will tell you, the art of cooking or

architecting requires something extra, and that is creativity. To put it simply in the

words of the author John Updike:

Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right,

or better.

The book you are holding is a good example of the outcome of such creativity. I

personally know the authors to be very experienced and knowledgeable on the

topics they write—yet, it is a way they have chosen to distill their experience and

know-how that make this book a very valuable resource for any software architect.

Artfully transforming use-cases and requirements into recognizable patterns while

discussing alternative architectures for implementing these patterns, this book

provides you with an effective framework to handle the complexities of modern

distributed applications.
