Tiers In Software Architecture

• software systems can be divided into a couple different categories, based on the number of tiers they have:
  • single-tier-application.
  • two-tier-application.
  • three-tier-application.
  • n-tier-application.

layers vs. tiers

although often used interchangeably, don’t confuse layers with tiers!

• layers are more used to represent the conceptual/logical organization of the code.
• tiers are used to represent the physical separation of components.
