Abstract As organizations worldwide is increasingly dependent on technology for driving innovation and operational efficiency, effective systems design has become a key pillar on which long-term successful organizations are built. This paper discusses the system design basics, major architectural patterns and their use cases for performance tuning. It also explores the evolution of communication protocols, most notably HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3, and the effects they’ve had on API design in distributed contexts. At the heart of the conversation lies authorization frameworks like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) which are pivotal to protecting security, privacy and ensuring compliance with regulations.

This paper expounds upon these pitfalls while bringing to light real constructs that challenge developers, specifically in microservices-based ecosystems, where distributed architectures complicate facets such as data consistency, caching policies, and robust error handling. Specific best practices and emerging trends shed light on how theoretical principles is transmuted into practical implementation. Focusing on this disparity, this paper attempts to empower system architect, software engineer and decision-maker to evolve applications towards scalable, secure and uninterrupted future by compiling findings between industry experiences and academic literature. It highlights the importance of aligning architectural paradigms, efficient data transfer protocols, and sophisticated access control frameworks to build robust and scalable systems that can respond to changing business and technology trends.
