Everything You NEED to Know About WEB APP Architecture

Upgrade to Space Team for free for one month using my code: FORREST

Software architecture for a web application is essentially the blueprint for how a web app is structured. There's monolithic architecture, where you basically piled everything into a single, tightly coupled codebase. But if you want to efficiently scale your app from 100 users to 100,000 users, or want to ensure adding a line of code to a certain component or feature doesn’t break the entire application, then you may want to take a look at the microservice architecture. In the same realm, there's serverless architecture. There's also a higher level of architecture: client-server and peer-to-peer.
When it comes to web app architecture, there are so many different types & many of which aren’t even exclusive from one another. So I’ve broken these down, put them into levels that are actually comparable, and created explanations in a way for you to simply understand the different types of web app architecture, why they’re important, how they play into software development, and given your requirements, goals, and possibilities, which app architecture is best for your app. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

This is the first time in my life that I will search for a video, even after it disappeared abruptly, just to subscribe and like it. The content is truly excellent!

[eng.danson]

please continue to be straight to the point.thank u so much. we need people like u on you tube. not this other people who talk a lot about nothing important in particular

[greenmanhulk]

This video was on my home feed for the last one year. Just watched it. Awesome piece. The way he ended the video was hilarious!

[Sylarleft]

That's the most comprehensive explanation for beginners out there! Usually, we have to search each term separately, but this video puts everything in context

[ZamirMubashir]

The examples you gave really helped me wrap my head around the concepts. Appreciate the effort and to the point explanations!

[imAlexisdzn]

I think this is the simplest, most understandable and beautiful explanation about WEB APPS Architecture ever. Great video!

[LVEWAR]

This video is so so well done. Love the way you teach and gesticulate (and may or may not have stolen this habit to apply it to my own teaching). This video would have been super helpful for me 1 week earlier, so I would have scored a few bonus points at the recent interviews. Anyway, I did pass them. As for yourself sir, keep up a good job!

[robberttoorenburg]

Thanx brother for explaining this to a complete beginner like me trying to learn software development!

[HeroineOfTwilight]

Love how the code coffee transforms into a breakfast smoothie at 9:14 lol

But for real thank you for this video; I'm completely teaching myself all of these computer science concepts so having a fairly bite sized, well-explained video laying these out is an especially helpful starting point on my way to understanding the overall picture.

[bulelanibotman]

thank you for explaining, microservices because as a student i really couldn't understand that concept. if you have time it would be appreciated if you could do a small demo app using the microservice architecture, looking at the code would further cement this knowledge!

[faizalimuhammadzoda]

Thanks for the time and effort you put into making such educational videos. Much appreciated.

[jpgenovese]

Dude I have the worst attention span but this video is great, so much information in so little time. No time wasting. Subscribed

[tabliqatchi]

I have no idea why, but I expected a poor quality click-bait video, but after watching this, I'm really enlightened on this. Thank you so much for making and posting this. 🌹

There's been a lot of backlash against micro-services with many teams running back to good ol fashioned monolithic architecture, as microservces can quickly become unmanageable and create impenetrable silos among larger teams where one team has no idea what the other team is doing even though both work on the same app, but neither team knows each other's codebases.

[felixc.programs]

Love your content! I wouldn't have started my own Tech Youtube channel if it wasn't for finding yours. Can't wait for your future content!

[alfonsoramirezelorriaga]

So simple and clear. Great place to start. Thank you.

[ekeminios]

Thanks for sharing ForrestKnight! This is helpful: "Microservice architecture - A collection of services, that each serves a unique responsibility."

[intuitiveperformance]

Love your videos man. Keep up the great work!!

[JamesRBentley]

Great explanation, no gimmicks. Very much appreciated 👍

[ambikeya_tech]

Insightful post! Thanks for breaking down web app architecture essentials. Clear and concise, it's a valuable resource for understanding the fundamentals. Great job!
