Software Architecture Principles 

• Language that helps team communicate better with the same terminology 
• Structure for the application to align the team to implement features on the application

 

Software Architecture Concepts 

1. Separation of concerns - the right components to divide the abstractions 

2. Principle of least knowledge - the less knowledge an object have another object decreases coupling 

3. DRY - don't repeat yourself, if something is repeated; caveat: be sure to make sure its also within the same domain
