While writing my series of posts about software architecture, I want to share with you a great book about the topic. The book is Software Architecture in practice 3rd edition by Len Bass, Paul Clements, and Rick Kazman. The book explains the entire process of software architecture design.

The main ideas are well presented and can be implemented with almost any technology stack. The last…
