Modular Architecture
Modular architecture is a software design approach that organizes a system into discrete, self-contained modules, each responsible for a specific functionality. These modules communicate through well-defined interfaces, promoting separation of concerns and reducing interdependencies. This structure enhances maintainability, scalability, and reusability in software development.
Also known as: Modular Design, Component-Based Architecture, Modular Software, Modularity, Modular System
🧊Why learn Modular Architecture?
Developers should adopt modular architecture when building large, complex applications to manage codebases effectively, as it simplifies debugging, testing, and team collaboration. It is particularly useful in microservices, web applications, and enterprise systems where components need to be updated or scaled independently without affecting the entire system.
