There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In orgs where it’s all about delivering tickets as quickly as possible or obsessing over technology, the culture and results are poorer.

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.

As the pace of business quickens, software development has adapted. Increasingly, teams release software features more quickly to accommodate customer needs. As a result, organizations are weighing microservices vs. monolithic architecture to improve software delivery speed and quality. What is monolithic architecture?

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.

An alternative option is to maximise reuse using technologies like Flutter. Team members need to learn and keep up to date with a wider range of technologies.
