Part 2: Distributed Node-Based Logical Architecture

Go to The FX Demo Root

Part 2 defines the platform-independent logical architecture for the Financial Systems Archetype. It describes the logical nodes, runtime planes, information flows, responsibilities, and separation-of-concerns rules that apply before any specific technology stack is introduced into the architecture. Part 2 introduces the logical model that implementation profiles map onto selected platforms, products, protocols, and deployment environments. It serves as the primary bridge between the conceptual architecture in Part 1 and the technology-specific implementation profiles in later parts.
