Software Architecture

Metalama automates cross-cutting C# patterns with aspects that generate code at compile time, while checking architecture rules as you edit. The repetitive implementation stays out of business code and the repository, and one aspect can be applied to a method or to a set of methods selected in code.

For example, an aspect can wrap a method in try/catch to log its entry, result, and exceptions. Metalama also lets you preview and debug the transformed code, making those changes inspectable.

REA offers a unified approach to reverse engineering, driven by agents that can analyze native binaries, JavaScript/Electron apps, websites, or databases without source code access. The tool integrates with agents like Claude Code or Cursor, provides evidence and limitations for each analysis, and leverages native tools (Hopper, Ghidra, IDA) for deep inspection. The documentation details supported scenarios, provider setup, and CLI workflows, with concrete examples of feature-level reverse engineering from real applications.

This comprehensive overview walks through organizing a React project, from a single file to a modular monorepo structure. The author details how to split code (files, technical folders, feature folders, domains, packages) and the impact of each approach on maintainability, dependency isolation, and scalability. Concrete examples illustrate how to evolve the architecture as the project grows, with clear rules to prevent cross-feature dependencies and encourage reuse.

Patterns.dev documents JavaScript design patterns and performance techniques for web apps. Its examples connect architectural choices to their impact on loading and rendering.

Code Wiki generates explanations, API references, and architecture views from public repositories. Its code-section navigation helps explore a project without manually reading every file.

Nakama combines user accounts, storage, chat, leaderboards and multiplayer modes. The server provides shared foundations for games and real-time applications.

This experience report examines the challenges of horizontally deployed Next.js. It highlights caching and coordination concerns when multiple instances serve the same application.

Next-forge provides a Turborepo template separating the application, API, emails, website and documentation. The structure lays foundations for a Next.js product with multiple surfaces.

DivKit describes elements, states and animations in data sent to the client. Native Android, iOS and web renderers support interface changes without a separate app release for each update.

Vogen wraps primitives in generated domain types. Its CustomerId example shows how to obtain comparisons and controlled construction without writing repetitive boilerplate.

Eraser accepts descriptions, files and code to build diagrams. Inputs such as Terraform or design documents help turn architecture into visuals teams can discuss.

Jennifer Pahlka revisits healthcare.gov to argue for growing from a simple working system. The piece connects large-project risks to attempting to deliver all complexity at once.

This generator creates builders for classes, structs and records. Its steps require mandatory information before optional values while encouraging immutable objects.

Frappe combines a Python backend with a JavaScript interface for business applications. Its metadata model, used by ERPNext, defines objects and behavior to reduce repetitive application code.

The article applies SOLID principles to frontend development with Vue 3. It connects general design rules to maintainable application code beyond framework-specific mechanics.

Damien Bod proposes security context models centered on authentication and authorization flows. The diagrams help identify trust boundaries and design mistakes before implementation.
