Building Evolutionary Architectures • Rebecca Parsons, Neal Ford & James Lewis • GOTO 2023
Discover how to build evolutionary architectures that adapt to change, prioritize cohesion and coupling, and leverage guided evolution, microservices, and continuous delivery to drive innovation and growth.
- Evolutionary Architecture: A mindset shift from planning to adaptability, recognizing that systems will change over time and accepting that they will not be perfect.
- Fitness Functions: A way to analyze and prioritize architectural characteristics, such as cohesion and coupling, to ensure they remain important and easy to change.
- Cohesion: The degree to which components work together towards a common goal, making it easier to change individual components without affecting the overall system.
- Coupling: The degree to which components depend on each other, making it harder to change individual components without affecting the overall system.
- Guided Evolution: A approach to evolutionary architecture that involves defining objectives, identifying the most important architectural characteristics, and making informed design decisions.
- Architectural Quantum: A scope that needs to be defined and addressed, as it is a key aspect of evolutionary architecture.
- Conessence: A concept that describes the degree to which components are closely related, making it easier to change individual components without affecting the overall system.
- Microservices: A style of software architecture that involves breaking down a system into smaller, independent components, but still requires careful consideration of cohesion and coupling.
- Continuous Delivery: An approach to software development that involves automating the deployment of code changes to production, allowing for faster iteration and adaptation.
- Meta-Learning: The ability of AI systems to learn from their own learning experiences, enabling them to adapt and improve over time.
- Self-Organizing Systems: Systems that can adapt and self-organize without the need for explicit design or guidance.
