In plain English

Awesome Design Patterns is a curated link directory of resources for software design patterns and architectural patterns, organized by domain and programming language. Design patterns are named, reusable solutions to problems that come up repeatedly in software development, for example, the Singleton pattern for ensuring only one instance of a class exists, or the Observer pattern for letting multiple components react to events. The challenge is that design pattern resources are scattered across books, websites, GitHub repositories, and documentation in many languages, making it hard to find a good reference for your specific language or architectural concern. This list organizes those resources into categories: programming language-specific pattern guides (covering AngularJS, C#, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, React, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Swift, TypeScript, and others), general software architecture patterns, cloud architecture patterns (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), serverless architecture, microservices and distributed systems, IoT, big data, machine learning pipelines, databases, DevOps and containers, mobile development, front-end development, and security. Each entry links to a GitHub repository, an article, a book, or a documentation page that covers those patterns in depth. You would use this when you are designing a system or feature and want to quickly find established patterns relevant to your context, for example, if you are building a microservice and want to see what patterns exist for service discovery, circuit breaking, or API gateways. It is also useful for developers studying system design or preparing for technical interviews. The repository itself is purely a Markdown reference document with no code to run or install.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I'm building a microservice in Go. Show me the microservices patterns section from awesome-design-patterns and help me understand which patterns apply to my service discovery needs.

Prompt 2

I need to prepare for a system design interview. Use awesome-design-patterns to explain the Observer pattern and give me a real-world example of when to use it.

Prompt 3

I'm designing a serverless application on AWS. Find the serverless architecture patterns from awesome-design-patterns and explain which ones fit my use case.

Prompt 4

Show me the front-end design patterns for React from awesome-design-patterns and explain how to implement the Container/Presentational pattern.

Prompt 5

I'm learning about distributed systems. Use awesome-design-patterns to find resources on the Circuit Breaker pattern and explain why it matters for microservices.
