Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Layered (N-Layer) Architecture

The video tutorial introduces layered architecture, explaining its benefits and challenges. It covers the purpose of organizing application components into logical layers, known as Ntier or multi-layered architecture. The tutorial details the three main layers: user interface, business logic, and data access, emphasizing their logical separation within a monolithic application. It highlights the isolation characteristic, allowing modifications without affecting other layers. The video concludes with practical applications and additional layers like middleware and APIs.
