Squaring the circle
summary
Claims that architectural work has shifted dramatically over the last 10–15 years, backed by a concrete list of 12 drivers (cloud, mobile, IoT/edge, big data/ML, real‑time flows, 24/7 availability, zero‑trust security, polyglot persistence, observability, sustainability, exploding complexity, digital transformation). Recommends specific practices: treat APIs and data flow as first‑class, adopt domain‑driven design and observability tools, plan a little and iterate, use the 4E model (examine, explore, evaluate, explain) and aim to remove systems in a day as a practical benchmark.
