who is Architect in IT Field?

Question

Who is Architect and what is the responsibility of Architect?

Nitin Sontakke · Answer

@Subhash, I will still not add "coding skill". S/he might have done coding in the past hence knows what is possible and what is not. S/he is not expected to actually write code or even expected to help developer if s/he is stuck. However, architech is very well aware of changing technological landscape (ever since s/he has stopped coding) and knows which tools and technologies to put together to provide a solution to a business problem.

@Subhash, not quite. I think the architech is the one puts things together and does most of the plumbing job. Hardware / software requirements. How application layers talk to each other. Protocols, Separation of concern. Performance implications. Return on investment. Choose best appropriate tool for the business problem to solve, etc.
