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.

Second, the behavior of AI systems changes over time. Charity Majors’ emphasis on cardinality and inferring the internal states of a system from its outputs is certainly the right direction in which to be looking, but in AI systems, the number of internal states grows by many, many orders of magnitude.

Technology systems are difficult to wrangle. Our systems grow in accidental complexity and complication over time. Likewise, the term "architect" didn't enter popular usage to describe a role in the software field until the late 1990s. Architecture begins when someone has a nontrivial problem to be solved.

Even a decade or more is nothing out of the ordinary for large organizations who have accumulated legacy and heritage systems over long periods of time. The need to keep delivering product enhancements and new innovations while modernization is in process is one big factor, and dependencies between modernization work items is another.

In a small system this may be a table in a central relational database, but it’s best setup as a NoSQL data source using something like Amazon DynamoDB or Apache Cassandra, with a caching client library or at large scale a microservice data access layer. You need an “abtest” database service.
