Long-lived system design

Modern Software Architecture 

Modern architecture is the ability to change a system safely; it is not a collection of fashionable infrastructure choices.

How we use it

A technology choice is useful only when it improves the product or its operation.

We shape architecture around business capabilities, critical quality attributes, team ownership, data consistency, and expected change. Decisions are recorded with their tradeoffs and revisited when evidence changes.
