Software Architecture with C++

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

Key Features

• Design scalable large-scale applications with the C++ programming language
• Architect software solutions in a cloud-based environment with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
• Achieve architectural goals by leveraging design patterns, language features, and useful tools

Book Description

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.
