The document discusses various web app architectures: monolithic (1-tier), 2-tier, 3-tier, and MVC. It explains the differences and advantages of each architecture, emphasizing that 3-tier architecture provides better separation of concerns and scalability, while MVC architecture focuses on separating business logic from presentation. Key components of these architectures include presentation, business, and data layers, which impact application maintainability and user interaction.
Web apps architecture
- 1. 1-tier,2-tier, 3-tier and MVC Different Web apps Architectures by Tanmoy Barman
- 2. Contents Why n-tier? Layers. Monolithic or 1-tier architecture. 2-tier architecture. 3-tier architecture. Need of MVC. MVC architecture. MVC components. Comparison between MVC and 3-tier.
- 3. Why n-tier? Need of e-commerce solutions; increase in users and merchant sites all over the world. Applications should be scalable, user-friendly, have tight security and easily maintainable.
- 4. Layers Layer means logical. Tier means physical. Generally there are three layers:- Presentation Business Data access layer
- 5. Layers Presentation Layer:- involves with client and application interaction. Provides user friendly interface for the clients. Business Layer:- contains the application code or the core functionalities of the application or what the application will perform. Data access Layer:- involves with the maintaining database and storage of data.
- 7. Monolithic or 1-tier Presentation layer, Business layer and Data Access layer are tightly connected. As the layers are tightly connected(depends on each other), if any of the layer code are changed then other layers should be affected and the codes in other layers need to be changed.
- 8. Monolithic or 1-tier Traditional approaches of the applications are based on this type of architecture. Typically implementation of 1-tier architecture can be a C program running in a computer.
- 9. 2-tier
- 10. 2-tier In this type of architectures the presentation layer, the business logic layer are separated from the data access layer. The advantages of this layer is that the code of the data access layer can be changed any time without affecting the code of the other layer i.e. the whole database and the layer can be changed anytime. The database(i.e. the data access layer) can be present anywhere around but the other two layers should be together(tightly connected).
- 11. 2-tier As the presentation and the business logic are still connected they should be present at the client side to work together; due to the concentration of the client this type of client is called thick client. Problems faced by this type of architecture is the client should always get the updated copies of the application if there is a change in the application codes or application developer modifies the application. The application developer may not want to give the code to the relatively third parities even if the code is pre compiled.
- 12. 2-tier Another problem is that the client may not want to install the code into his/her machine for using a particular application.
- 13. 3-tier
- 14. 3-tier In this type of architecture the presentation layer, the business logic layer and the data access layer are separated from each other and are present on three different tiers therefore they are loosely connected. The main advantages is that any change in the code in one layer will not affect the other layers and the platform can also be changed independently. Now the web designer can concentrate on the design of the user interface i.e. the presentation logic, the application developer concentrate on developing the application i.e. the business logic and the database manager can handle the
- 15. 3-tier Today’s application are based on 3-tier architecture which are scalable, easy to maintain, components are reusable and faster development.
- 16. Need of MVC Architecture Need to access the data from different context such as mobiles, touch screen, desktop, etc. Need to show the data in different context such as mobiles, touch screen, desktop, etc. Need to show multiple views of the same data such as Thumbnails, List or details. Need to change the designs without changing the core business logic.
- 17. MVC Solutions Separate the core business logic form the presentation logic. Separate views for the same data.
- 18. MVC Architecture
- 19. MVC Components Model: It contains the core functionalities and the business logic of the application. It accepts the state query from the model and controller and it provides the updated information to the view component. View: This component is responsible for the presentation logic and the user interaction between the application. The model provides different information to different user which can be represented in different ways. The main work of the view component is to provide the suitable information to the user.
- 20. MVC Components Controller: It accepts the user input through the view component and process them and if any changes are required then it perform the changes after that it response to the client.
- 21. MVC Vs. 3-tier In MVC architecture the components communicate directly with each other in order to maintain a coherent user interaction but in case of 3-tier the presentation layer(front end) communicates with the data access layer(back end) through the business layer(middleware). In 3-tier the Layers are present on three different tiers or machines where as in MVC the layers are present on single tier or machines.
