How System Architecture Patterns Evolved

When we look at software development, it's clear that things have evolved rapidly over the last few decades. In the early days, we had simple monolithic systems that were easy to manage and maintain. However, as software complexity grew and the demands on systems increased, these monolithic structures became hard to change and hard to scale. Architectural patterns were the answer to that.

In the simplest terms, an architectural pattern represents a set of guidelines designed to address specific problems that repeatedly occur in a given context
