In this chapter, we looked at various Architectural Patterns, and discussed the application and the communication style in greater detail. We also learned how to combine different application styles, and dived deep in  various architectural patterns enabling us to understand the why (we are doing what we are doing in Data Centric Architectures) as well as the how (we can approach various problems given the knowledge of the Architectural Patterns) of a Data Centric Architecture. 

In the next chapter, we will build upon the knowledge gained here to further our understanding on certain Architectural concerns like Distributed Processing, Distributed Storage, Distributed Data Pipeline that will enable us to start focusing on concerns around the Data Centric Architectures. Stay tuned.
