Practices for Effective Continuous Software Architecture
summary
Argues that architecture must be continuous, not front‑loaded, and gives concrete practices: form a technical leadership group to decide and champion crosscutting tradeoffs; capture decisions as ADRs in git or Confluence and curate them; force-quality thinking with quality‑attribute scenarios tied into backlog and measurements; manage technical debt via just‑in‑time, steady allocation, or crisis cleanup; build feedback loops and selective fitness functions (useful but sometimes costly). Claims these steps let teams iterate without losing systemic properties like security, performance and resilience.
