Architectural pattern

An architectural pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software architecture within a given context.

Description

Architectural patterns are similar to software design patterns but have a broader scope.

The architectural patterns address various issues in software engineering, such as computer hardware performance limitations, high availability and minimization of a business risk.

Software frameworks

Some architectural patterns have been implemented within software frameworks.
