Understanding the Applications of Each Layer in the Architecture for Customer Service Analysis

Business Layer:

The Business Layer is where all the business/domain logic, or rules specific to the issue that the program was designed to solve, resides. Calculating salaries, simulating data analysis, or routing an order through several stages of workflow are some examples of this. While it's something we should always aim for to have all the business rules in the Business Layer

Application Layer:

The interface at the application layer communicates directly with the application and offers standard web application services. The presentation layer receives a request from the application layer as well. The highest level of open systems is the application layer, which directly supports the application process.

Technology Layer:

According to the TOGAF framework, the technology layer is frequently used to describe the enterprise's technology architecture. It is defined as "the structure and interaction of the platform services, and logical and physical technology components."
