The Chief Architect has just left. And all that’s left are a few outdated implementation diagrams, a deployment blueprint and some emails.

The team waves goodbye.But something critical leaves with the departing developer—the architecture they understood but never modelled.

Instead of implementing a balcony within the existing structure, teams start designing an entirely new building. The result?

As complexity in increased, the role of civil architects transitioned from optional to essential. The same is true for IT systems today

In this case study, we explore how a retail lending platform is transformed from conventional, tool-centric to anatomy-driven architecture

It states that the every project has same building blocks—Goals, Processes, Systems, Components, implementation, and operation

Just as bricks, steel, and cement are the materials of construction, cloud platforms are the materials of IT implementation.

While microservices are a valuable programming design pattern, they are not architecture.

From managing intricate workflows to integrating multiple systems, the ability to handle complexity effectively is critical

Development teams’ proximity to execution gives them disproportionate influence over decisions when architectural leadership is weak

To drive meaningful change, we need to break free from outdated beliefs and embrace a holistic, strategic approach to architecture
