term

Remote Module Loading

Importing code from another application's build at runtime, with the versioning, availability and failure questions that a normal import does not have.

Module Federation term

Hardware Security Module

A tamper-resistant device that generates and stores keys and performs cryptographic operations without the key material ever being extractable.

Key Management term

Module Dependency Enforcement

Automated checks that prevent one module from importing another's internals, giving a monolith the boundary discipline of separate services.

Modular Monolith term

Query Federation

Executing a single query across several underlying systems without moving the data, and the performance ceiling that pushdown determines.

Data Virtualisation term

Workload Identity Federation

A pipeline proving what it is with a short-lived signed token from its own platform, so no long-lived cloud credential is ever stored.

Pipeline Secrets term

Afferent and Efferent Coupling

The counts of components depending on a module and of components it depends upon, used together to identify which parts of a system are expensive to change.

Coupling term

Cross-Cutting Concern

A responsibility that legitimately appears throughout a system rather than in one module, such as logging, authorisation, tracing or transaction management.

Separation of Concerns term

Functional Cohesion

The strongest form of cohesion, in which every element of a module contributes to a single well-defined task.

Cohesion term

Information Hiding

Designing module boundaries around the decisions most likely to change, so that a change is contained within one module.

Modularity

topic

Module Federation

Loading code from another build at runtime, with versioning and failure to think about.
