A Solution Architect designs comprehensive solutions aligned with business objectives, focusing on the overall strategy. Meanwhile, a Technical Architect ensures the technical infrastructure supports this vision, focusing on implementation details.

Below, you can have a look at the actual difference between them:

Aspect Solution Architect Technical Architect
Focus Business solutions and user needs Technical infrastructure and system implementation
Role Design overall solution architecture Specify technical requirements and setup
Scope Broad, covering multiple systems Narrow, focusing on specific systems or components
Primary Concern Meeting business and functional requirements Ensuring technical compatibility and performance

Solution Architects ensure the solution fits the business, while Technical Architects make sure the tech stack can support it. Check here for the roles and responsibilities of technical architects.
