architectural-patterns-catalog

Architectural patterns like MVC, Repository, Layered, Microservices, and CQRS are reusable solutions that structure how systems organize components and data flow. This catalog defines each pattern, identifies when to apply it, provides implementation examples, and explains trade-offs to help you choose the right approach for your project.

Review the pattern definitions and indicators in the catalog to match your project's requirements. The catalog provides examples and implementation notes for frontend, backend, and fullstack contexts, helping you recognize patterns already in use or select a new one based on your architecture goals.

Yes. Architectural patterns apply universally across frontend, backend, and fullstack systems. This catalog covers pattern guidance specific to each context, so you can implement MVC, Repository, CQRS, and other patterns consistently whether you're building client-side, server-side, or integrated architectures.

MVC separates Model, View, and Controller responsibilities; Repository abstracts data access; Layered organizes code into horizontal tiers. Each pattern solves different structural problems. The catalog explains the indicators, trade-offs, and use cases for each so you can compare and select based on your architecture needs.

CQRS separates command and query responsibilities; Microservices break systems into independent, deployable services. The catalog provides pattern definitions, implementation notes, and examples showing how to apply each pattern in practice and when they are most effective.
