| 1-Tier Architecture | A simple form of stand-alone application architecture where all business logic resides in a single application. Contrast with 2-tier and 3-tier architectures. |
| 2-Tier Architecture | Applications with business logic separated from the database management system. Application code resides on the client, which is used to process data, and input and output resides on the database. |
| 3-Tier Architecture | An architecture where the user interface, business application logic, and data are separated. User interfaces handle the presentation layer and present a view to data. Application servers handle the application logic, processing, and database management and database management systems handle the data. This design reduces complexity and provides scale for additional users or data. Examples include "thin-client" web applications and "fat-client" desktop applications. |
