rgun

I am a CTO (by virtue of being the founding engineer; straight out of college) at a 5-6 year old startup.

We have bootstrapped our way till here and are now looking for funding.

An investor asked me what our technical architecture was. I began to explain to him with a lot of hand waving. After a while he stopped me and told that there are several kinds of architecture like 2-tier, multi-tier, microservices etc. What kind was ours? I could not give him a satisfactory answer.

I realized that it might be helpful for me to understand these architectures and apply them in our context. Can you please recommend me some good books that might go into details of various kinds of architecture?
