What methods of connecting and assembling system components do you know?

The methods of connecting and assembling system components depend on the architecture and technologies used, but the main approaches include:

1. Manual assembly and integration — developers manually assemble components, configure dependencies, and integrate modules.

2. Build scripts — automation of the build process using scripts (e.g., Makefile, shell scripts) that compile and link components.

3. Build management systems — using tools like Maven, Gradle, CMake, which manage dependencies and the build process.

4. Containerization — packaging components into containers (Docker), which simplifies deployment and integration.

5. CI/CD pipelines — automating build, testing, and deployment through continuous integration systems (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

6. Microservice architecture — components interact via APIs, reducing the need for tight coupling but requiring network interaction setup and orchestration (Kubernetes).

The choice of method depends on project requirements, scale, and technologies used.
