Multi-layer architecture

A multi-layer architecture is a way of organizing complex systems, like computer programs or networks, into separate layers, each with specific functions. Think of it like a layered cake: the bottom layer handles basic tasks (like data storage), the middle layers process and analyze information, and the top layer interacts with users. This structure makes the system more manageable, scalable, and secure, as changes in one layer don't easily affect others. It also allows different teams to work on different layers independently, improving efficiency and flexibility.
