Software Architecture is a bad name it's too general.
A better name is Web infrastructure technology.
Software Architecture implies axiomatic theory or empirical science, none of which is generally part of what we call "software architecture". When an engineer does "Software Architecture" they aren't doing any science and they aren't doing anything theoretical. They are doing something more akin to carpentry... it's a skill with very specific ways of doing things.. it's not a field of science or theory.
