Continuous Architecture offers a comprehensive view of architectural practices for continuous delivery, aiming to enhance the speed and efficiency of software updates. It addresses challenges at both project and enterprise levels, integrating Agile principles with architectural strategies to improve testing, deployment, and team organization in modern software development.
In Continuous Architecture in Practice, three leading software architecture experts update the discipline's classic practices for today's environments, software development contexts, and applications. Coverage includes: Discover what's changed, and how the architect's role must change Reflect today's quality attributes in evolvable architectures Understand team-based software architecture, and architecture as a "flow of decisions" Architect for security, including continuous threat modeling and mitigation Explore architectural opportunities to improve performance in continuous delivery environments Architect for scalability, avoid common scalability pitfalls, and scale microservices and serverless environments Improve resilience and reliability in the face of inevitable failures Architect data for NoSQL, big data, and analytics Use architecture to promote innovation: case studies in AI/ML, chatbots, and blockchain
