What's the difference between Architectural Patterns and Architectural Styles?

Question

In Software Architecture - Foundations, Theory and Practice, I can find definitions for both. The problem is that I don\'t get what each one of them means in plain Engl

Answer 1

Architecture style describes a system of many components. There is only one application architecture and you have to apply the one architectural style like Microservices, SOA, and event-driven architecture everywhere.

Architecture patterns describe something inside a single component and do not try to apply the same architectural patterns like CQRS or DDD everywhere.
