Design Patterns and Electric Vehicle Charging Software
Abstract
The development and maintenance of complex software systems, with ever-changing requirements has benefited from the implementation of design patterns, which ensure a higher degree of maintainability. The present article illustrates the essential role of design patterns in sketching the software architecture for an electric vehicle charging management platform. We have integrated a series of design patterns to create a solid base structure for the API (Application Programming Interface). Furthermore, we have explored cloud design patterns in the deployment process to ensure a proper multi-tenant cloud application with the best possible tenant isolation for the cost. The aim of this paper is to offer readers an introduction in the case study theme, to describe a complex platform development through design patterns. With proper examples from real projects debated in the industry. The paper demonstrates the design patterns applicability from software level to cloud resources plan and advocates for a high-quality solution in every segment of project development. In conclusion, the results are promising, and the functionality of the established methods on this type of platforms will be evaluated during the implementation period. Overall, design patterns have proven to be essential in the development process, ensuring effective team communication and the delivery of qualitative software solutions.
