1. Structural Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes in the overall structure of the system. For example, adding new components or modifying existing components to support new features or improve performance.
2. Functional Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes to the functionality of the system. This can be done by adding or modifying the behavior of existing components to support new features or meet changing business requirements.
3. Technology Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes in the underlying technologies used by the system. For example, upgrading to a new version of a programming language or switching to a new database system.
4. Data Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes in the data structures and models used by the system. For example, adding new data types or modifying existing ones to support new features or meet changing business requirements.
5. Performance Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes to the system to improve its performance. For example, optimizing code, improving caching mechanisms, or adding new hardware components to improve processing speed.
6. Security Evolution: This type of architecture evolution involves changes to the system to improve its security. For example, adding authentication and authorization mechanisms, implementing encryption, or improving access control mechanisms.
