Managing architectural debt in a hypergrowth context
summary
Presents a pragmatic approach to managing architectural debt in hypergrowth using measurable instruments: a guideline library and tech radar, automated checks (Sonar plus an in‑house “Radiologist” tool that scans code, configs and runtime), quarterly interviews that score architecture building blocks on a 0–10 scale (scores >6 block new features), and value/effort mapping. Applied to a 350‑microservice landscape and a billing proof‑of‑concept that scaled to 500 merchants, the process reduced anomalies and recommends reserving 20% of sprint time for refactoring to keep debt under control.
