Concepts

Software Architecture

Evolutionary Software Architecture

Evolutionary software architecture is the sum of software engineering practices and techniques, as well as structural architectural patterns that allow incremental guided change across multiple dimensions of a software system. The dimensions in question include first and foremost the domain, but also multiple other architectural characteristics the system designers deem as important.

Requirements

Functional requirements (related to domain) and non-functional requirements, associated to architectural characteristics.

Architectural Governance

Definition. TO DO.

Architectural governance includes code reviews, architecture review boards (manual, bureaucracy).

Change

Incremental change.

• https://www.infoq.com/presentations/starling-bank: "If you develop, you break things", the story of a bank building their systems on Java. They move money. Apparently they move fast. Self-contained systems, microliths, AWS working well for them, no startup dependencies, no distributed transactions, L.O.A.S.C.T.T.D.I.T.T.E.O, shortened to DITTO, idempotency, building skepticism into services, why Java, safe instance termination.
