   Here are some pointers:

   "Large-Scale C++ Software Design"

   https://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Software-Design-John-Lako...

   Although oriented towards C++, many architecture tips apply to other languages as well.

   John Lakos is in the process of writing updated versions of the book.

   "Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture"

   https://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Architecture-Addison-Wesl...

   "Large-Scale C++ Volume II: Design and Implementation"

   https://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Implementation-Addison-We...

   Then going back into the old days, you have

   "Software Engineering in Modula 2: An Object Oriented Approach"

   https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Jill-Hewitt/dp/0333515188

   "Data Structures and Program Design in Modula-2"

   https://www.amazon.de/Larry-R-Nyhoff/dp/0023886218/ref=sr_1_...

   "Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction"

   https://www.amazon.com/dp/0735619670/ref=sr_1_1

   "AntiPatterns: Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis"

   https://www.amazon.com/AntiPatterns-William-J-Brown/dp/04711...

   "Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming"

   https://www.amazon.com/Component-Software-Object-Oriented-Pr...

   "Use Cases Combined With Booch/Omt/Uml: Process and Products"

   https://www.amazon.com/Use-Cases-Combined-Booch-Omt/dp/01372...

   Just some pointers to get you started.

   >...from John Lakos' Large-scale C++ software design from 1997...

   I'll just point out that Lakos updated his work with a new edition in 2019:

   Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture

   and there's scattered evidence that Volume II might be published in Feb. 2027 [1]

   Large-Scale C++ Volume II: Design and Implementation
