Learning objectives
- Explain Space-Based Architecture: The High-Scale Pattern as a choice among modular structures and coupling tradeoffs, not as a pattern-name checklist.
- Use Space-Based Architecture: The High-Scale Pattern to predict how change, testing, deployability, and team coordination will behave in a real codebase.
- Use
fundamentals-of-software-architectureto connect the learner page to modular boundaries, dependency direction, and architectural style tradeoffs.
Prerequisites
- Comfort with architecture fundamentals and quality-attribute reasoning from module 01.

External enrichment
- Martin Fowler: Monolith First (
read_if_stuck) - Reinforces that architectural style choice is a tradeoff and should follow real constraints, not fashion. - Simon Brown: Modular Monoliths (
optional_deep_dive) - Helps connect modularity concepts to concrete structure and deployment choices.

Source-of-truth note
This teaching unit is learner-facing guidance. Its canonical source backbone is the referenced book fundamentals-of-software-architecture, and outside material should only clarify or strengthen that backbone.
