Triller is a monolith application that follows the layered architecture design pattern, incorporating the Repository and Unit of Work Patterns to organize and manage data access logic effectively.
- Repository Pattern: Data access logic is encapsulated in repositories, providing a clean separation between the data layer and the business logic. Each entity type typically has its own repository class responsible for CRUD operations.
- Unit of Work Pattern: The Unit of Work pattern coordinates multiple repositories and ensures that all changes to the database are made within a single transaction. This pattern helps maintain data integrity and consistency.
By adhering to these patterns, Triller achieves better maintainability, testability, and separation of concerns within its architecture.
