Architecture
MVC is used for the frontend design to increase the usability and responsiveness of our app.
- Easily expandable because units are loosely coupled which increases scalability.
- It supports the use of test driven development because tests for different units can be developed independently from one another.
- There is a separation of concerns that makes the code more maintainable.
- The use of MVC increases useability by allowing for multiple views which support a more dynamic UI. This allows the system to be more responsive to user input.
- It increases reliability because services can be tested and implemented as separate units.
- It increases scalability because independent services can change their throughput dynamically.
- The Service Oriented Architecture allows for loose coupling between services as required by our clients.
- Allows for easy maintenance.
- Availability is increased because if one service is down it wont affect any other services.
- Allows for increased autonomy because service consumers do not need to know the inner workings of a service to use the service.
- Increases scalability because the server size can be easily expanded as it is necessary.
- Increases availability because the server can be run on the cloud and accessed remotely from multiple platforms.
- Increases reliability because taking and restoring backups are easy.
