Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach Review: Awesome Book! - I read this book as an Associate SE and I gained a ton of knowledge. This book is extremely well written. I enjoyed the order in which the topics were presented. It began with an explanation of the four pillars in software architecture. By doing so readers gain immediate value within the first few pages. I particularly enjoyed the advocation for a domain partitioned folder structure as opposed to a technically partitioned folder structure, especially for front end developers. I believe navigating the code base should very much resemble navigating the UI. This is not only cool for readability, but it inherently increases cohesion. A huge win for such a low cost. After getting the foundations laid the authors explain different architecture styles. The part I found to be most useful was the charts they provided which give star ratings to highlight the strength and weaknesses of each architecture. This illustrates that architecture styles should be chosen for specific solutions and not trends. I gained the skills necessary to begin to think like an architect. It included breadth of knowledge which, as the book will tell you, is much more important than depth of knowledge for an architect. Then the authors decided to dive back in and elaborate a bit more on the foundations learned at the beginning. It suggested ADRs, another quick win for low costs. They also spoke about risks storming and offered friendly advice on finding balance within the teams. All in all, an amazing book. And at the end, the authors even presented tons of short answer questions to challenge readers and really take the lesson home. Review: a thorough window into the architect role - The book does a great job at deconstructing the overall role of a software architect in an enterprise scenario. It does this pretty gradual, starting with definitions for the characteristics of a software architecture and then elaborating clearly through architectural styles and skills that are favorablr in certain contexts. A definite must read for anyone looking to understand the abstractions involved in both software architecture at an enterprise level and the role of a software architect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #292,673 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Software Design Tools #61 in Software Design & Engineering #287 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,122) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1492043451 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1492043454 | | Item Weight | 7.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 422 pages | | Publication date | March 3, 2020 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9193iMIxVTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Book! *by M***K on December 14, 2021* I read this book as an Associate SE and I gained a ton of knowledge.

It does this pretty gradual, starting with definitions for the characteristics of a software architecture and then elaborating clearly through architectural styles and skills that are favorablr in certain contexts. A definite must read for anyone looking to understand the abstractions involved in both software architecture at an enterprise level and the role of a software architect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for starters *by H***R on November 21, 2025* It is a great book for basic knowledge on software architecture, the way it is written doesn't match with me entirely, I believe it could be more friendly. But it is a good book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach - Software Architecture: The Hard Parts: Modern Trade-Off Analyses for Distributed Architectures - Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/163988773-fundamentals-of-software-architecture-an-engineering-approach](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/163988773-fundamentals-of-software-architecture-an-engineering-approach) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
