It sits at the very beginning of the process before the code is written and can save an immense amount of time down the road (of somebody spending tons of time just to get to a dead-end). I really like what one of the smartest people with whom I worked said: “A good design is a design where you can see the code”. Important note.

Gaining visibility into monolithic systems before containers, Kubernetes, and microservices was simple. However, in today’s vastly more complex environments, such data offers no overarching view of system health. On its own, this method simply isn’t sufficient for troubleshooting in distributed systems.

When organizations focus on data privacy by design, they build security considerations into cloud systems upfront rather than as a bolt-on consideration. Consider Log4Shell, a software vulnerability in Apache Log4j 2 , a popular Java library. Log4j is a ubiquitous software code in various consumer-facing products and services.

This means a software architecture should be purposely designed for the most favourable business consequences.

First, the behavior of an AI application depends on a model , which is built from source code and training data. A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code.
