I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Technology systems are difficult to wrangle. Our systems grow in accidental complexity and complication over time. This is my tailored view of it; others will have different definitions. It must be solid, firm.

If every significant architecture decision has business consequences, then knowing the business model and which trade-offs to choose is maybe the most important skill of architects. But what is the actual relationship between a business model and a software architecture? It’s not just about business models and architecture, though.

This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language. But these are definitely ruled out for enterprise applications due to the complexity in development, maintainability, need for object orientation, and interoperability.
