The Relationship Between Software Architecture And Business Models (and more)
Strategic Tech
AUGUST 10, 2020
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? A software system is a model of a domain.
