Understanding Cloud Architecture Patterns

Cloud architecture is crucial for building scalable applications. Key patterns include: Microservices for modularity, Event-Driven Architecture for real-time processing, Serverless for cost optimization, and Multi-Region Deployment for high availability. Each pattern has trade-offs. Microservices increase complexity but improve scalability. Serverless reduces operational overhead but may have cold start issues. Understanding these patterns helps you design better systems and make informed architectural decisions.
