I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture. Architecture begins when someone has a nontrivial problem to be solved. Everyone who goes to architecture school learns his work. It must be beautiful, like Venus, inspiring love.

As companies strive to innovate and deliver faster, modern software architecture is evolving at near the speed of light. It allows for the breaking up of heavy monolithic architectures into multiple serverless “functions.” Understand and optimize your architecture. Dynatrace news. Azure Functions in a nutshell.

Another scenario where copy and paste is valuable is where different individuals or different groups want to translate the domain model into a software architecture aligned to bounded contexts by grouping events on the model. In my in-person workshops, I’ve faced this hard limitation. There is 1 model shared by the whole group.

In Part 1 of this series, a shared language was proposed to accurately describe different elements of a business’s architecture. We can now start to slice and group those architectural pieces into team-sized chunks and analyse the trade-offs of each pattern, and explore contexts in which they might be applicable.
