system coupling
[ˈsɪstəm ˈkʌplɪŋ]
nounpl: system couplings
acoplamento de sistemas
1. In engineering and software architecture, the degree to which one system or component depends on another system or component; the interconnection between systems that may affect their independent operation
The tight system coupling between the database and application layer made it difficult to scale independently.
O acoplamento de sistemas apertado entre a camada de banco de dados e a camada de aplicação dificultou o escalonamento independente.
2. In mechanical engineering, a device or mechanism that connects two shafts or rotating elements together
The flexible system coupling allowed for slight misalignment between the motor and pump.
O acoplamento de sistemas flexível permitiu leve desalinhamento entre o motor e a bomba.
3. In systems theory, the degree of interaction and interdependence between different components or subsystems within a larger system
Reducing system coupling improves modularity and maintainability of the software architecture.
Reduzir o acoplamento de sistemas melhora a modularidade e a manutenibilidade da arquitetura de software.
This is a technical term primarily used in software engineering and mechanical engineering contexts. In Brazil, it is commonly discussed in technology companies, universities, and development teams, particularly in São Paulo's thriving tech sector. The concept of reducing system coupling is a fundamental principle in modern software architecture and is emphasized in agile and DevOps methodologies that are widely adopted in Brazilian tech companies.
