A Data-Centric Approach to Distributed Application Architecture
The object-oriented development approach is useful for developing applications in general, but a data-centric approach is better for designing and developing distributed applications.

pplication architects design distributed applications based largely on their computing resources and network infrastructure. The goal is to ensure that users have ready access to computing resources, and that those computing resources have access to application data. While the object-oriented development approach is useful for developing applications in general, a data-centric approach is better for designing and developing distributed applications.
This article introduces the data-centric approach, explaining how to design with data-centric principles and implement data-centric applications. You will learn how data-centric design and data-oriented implementation can enable more robust and scalable distributed systems that also are easier to maintain and enhance over time.
