Cell-based Architecture (CBA) is a software design paradigm that structures applications as a collection of small, self-contained units called "cells." Each cell encapsulates specific functionality along with its own data, logic, and state, enabling independent development, deployment, and scaling. CBA is a approach that combines aspects of application architecture, deployment architecture, and organizational (people/team) architecture. This integration promotes modularity, agility, and efficient collaboration across development processes.{{Cite web |title=The basics, benefits and risks of cell-based architecture {{!}} TechTarget |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/tip/The-basics-benefits-and-risks-of-cell-based-architecture |access-date=2025-01-05 |website=Search App Architecture |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Cell-Based Architecture: Comprehensive Guide |url=https://dzone.com/articles/grokking-cell-based-architecture |access-date=2025-01-05 |website=dzone.com |language=en}}
In cell-based architecture, applications are decomposed into multiple cells, each representing a bounded context with its own data, logic, and state.{{Cite book |last=Gu |first=Sean (Chunhong) |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Mastering_Enterprise_Solution_Modeling/blE5EQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Cell-based+Architecture%22&pg=PA248 |title=Mastering Enterprise Solution Modeling |publisher=Springer Nature |isbn=979-8-8688-0992-7 |language=en}} Cells interact with each other through well-defined interfaces, promoting loose coupling and high cohesion. This approach facilitates parallel development and allows teams to focus on individual cells without impacting the entire system.
