Exploring the Evolution: Shifting Paradigms in Software Architecture
As with any field, the evolution of software architecture is evident in the shifting paradigms of computing over time. In the 90s and early 2000s, servers held sway, relegating clients to the status of ‘dumb terminals.’
With the dawn of the 2010s, smartphones and stronger client machines shifted computing to the client-side, thereby influencing the thought process of software craftsmanship. Here’s a timeline highlighting the major pillars of architecture evolution from the 90s to the present. It illustrates how a typical client-server architecture, which began as an experiment, has evolved to support millions and billions of requests per second. This showcases the remarkable evolution of software architecture over time.
