Structural patterns

Inversion of control
Ports and adapters

Architectural patterns

Client-server architecture
Data-oriented architecture
Domain-driven design
Event-driven architecture
Hexagonal architecture
Layered architecture (aka. multi-tiered or n-tier architecture
Message-driven architecture
Microservices
Monoliths
Nanoservices
Reactive programming
Request-response
Serverless architecture
Service-oriented architecture
Vertical-slice architecture
