- Solution architecture
Solution Architecture is either 1: documentation describing the structure and behaviour of a solution to a problem. Or 2: a process for describing a solution and the work to deliver it.
Solution architecture is a kind of architecture that aims to address specific problems and requirements, usually through the design of specific information systems or applications.
The documentation is typically divided into a broad views, each known as an
architecture domain . The process is typically one such as theAvancier Method (reference 1).Solution architecture is relative of
enterprise architecture (reference 2). The solution described may be all or part of what an enterprise architect's migration plan delivers. The solution might be unrelated to any such plan.Solution architecture often leads to
software architecture work (reference 3) andtechnical architecture work, and often contains elements of those.A
Solutions Architect is often but not always focused ontechnical architecture and the meeting of non-functional requirements, often in the context of deploying specific applications.REFERENCES
