This book by Martin Fowler and assorted others, was published in 2002, but still has content that is still applicable today. It’s a very slow and heavy read, however it is super interesting to see what influenced many of the frameworks that we use today.
This book goes over a collection of Enterprise application patterns that have been vetted in production environments. They are broken into different classifications: Layering, Concurrency, Session Management and Base Patterns. He then goes on to explain the pattern with diagrams, hierarchy and schema examples. Then ends each section with code examples and the pros and cons of each.
If you want more detailed information about the different patterns of enterprise application architecture, feel free to take a look at Martin Fowler’s website. https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/
I think this book is a great tome of wisdom, however it needs an upgrade to match up to current design patterns. It was really valuable to see the patterns used at the time when some of our favorite frameworks were built, ie Rails, and .Net. This book is a great foundation for Architects and Engineers who are designing a service or want to learn more about patterns, however not all modern patterns are included at this point.
