Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. This means a software architecture should be purposely designed for the most favourable business consequences.

Monolithic architecture is development where an application is built on a single codebase, and the code is unilateral. Generally speaking, monolithic architecture is composed of three parts: Database. This is usually a relational database management system. Monolithic architecture pros.

The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed.

Domain-Driven Design is an approach to designing systems, usually software, that emphasises creating a common language between domain experts and system builders. Every domain I model and every modelling workshop I run, different people like to slice up systems across different domain boundaries.

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.
