Modern design patterns, scalability principles, and architectural best practices.
In 2025, web applications leverage modular, decoupled architecture patterns to enable high performance, scalability, and maintainability. Understanding these patterns is critical for building future-ready web systems.
Understanding key differences between architectural patterns helps choose the right solution for specific use cases.
Model-View-Controller pattern remains relevant for simpler web apps, separating data, UI, and logic.
// MVC Example Structure
class AppController {
model = new AppModel();
view = new AppView();
constructor() {
this.view.bindLoadData(this.handleDataLoad);
}
async handleDataLoad() {
const data = await this.model.fetchData();
this.view.render(data);
}
}
Distributed architecture with service mesh pattern enables scalable, resilient web applications.
# Service Mesh Example
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: web-api-gateway
spec:
ports:
- port: 8080
selector:
app: web-api
type: LoadBalancer
Architectural recommendations derived from real-world application performance and maintainability metrics.
Use unified codebases for multiple applications with shared libraries. Requires sophisticated build tooling for optimal performance.
Implement strict dependency boundaries using tools like Storybook and Nx to prevent component coupling and circular dependencies. p>
Maintain clear separation with UI, Domain, and Infrastructure layers for clean code organization and easier testing. p>
Modern architectures combine client-side components with serverless functions, eliminating the need for traditional backend servers while maintaining low latency.
Embed WebAssembly modules for compute-intensive operations while maintaining seamless integration with JavaScript-based component architectures.
Modular architecture using component frameworks that allow dynamic composition of UI fragments from multiple microfrontends.
