Application Architecture, one of the core components that act as one of the core pillars for the entire enterprise. When i think about application architecture, i think about the architectural layer that binds all the other layers, such as business, information, technology.
Application architecture and the architect who works in this domain is responsible for the overall applications within an enterprise. It becomes very important then to be able to size the entire applications within the organization ensuring that they can work in sync with each other.
As noted in our Lesson 2 discussion, as an Enterprise Application architect, below are some of the important things that need to be kept in mind
As addressed in wiki "Applications architecture is the science and art of ensuring the suite of applications being used by an organization to create the composite architecture is scalable, reliable, available and manageable. Simply put, if this layer is flexible, and easily manageable, it will ensure the success of an organization and increase in the efficiency.
Lets talk about the major components that are integral for a successful application architectural layer;

As noted in our Lesson 2 discussion, as an Enterprise Application architect, below are some of the important things that need to be kept in mind
- understanding all the applications within the organization
- ensuring that these applications are in sync with each other
- keeping a close watch to the workings of these applications
- being up to date with the technology to ensure that the applications are compliant with the organization.
- Sizing and scalability needs to be determined, so as to ensure that there are enough servers to support the different applications, to prevent server crashes resorting into disaster recovery situations.
