Component-Based Software Architecture

A dominant paradigm for most modern Web Frameworks, and complimented by the rise of Design Systems.
"As software projects grew more complex, there was a need for a more modular approach. Enter "component-based software architecture". This approach breaks down software into smaller, reusable parts or "components". Each component has a specific function and can work independently.
Think of it like LEGO blocks. Each block (or component) has its own shape and purpose, but when combined, they can create a vast array of structures. This method has become popular because it allows for flexibility, easier updates, and a more organized way of building software." [86401a]
