Software Architecture resources

Currently I’m thinking about moving to a software architect role. Designing systems has been a passion of mine since I started to write software.

That’s why I’ve asked the HN community which are some of the best resources to learn software architecture. If you are in this situation too, you might find the following links of interest:

• The Architecture of Open Source Applications: the authors of four dozen open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why.
• The System Design Primer: learn how to design large-scale systems.
• Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by Martin Kleppmann (2017).
• Path to a Software Architect.
• Awesome scalability: the Patterns of Scalable, Reliable, and Performant Large-Scale Systems.
• Cloud Design Patterns useful for building reliable, scalable, secure applications in the cloud.
