Architectural Practices for Greater Scalability and Innovation
summary
Argues that architecture must cover people and code and gives concrete practices: use the C4 model for context→containers→components maps, record trade-offs with architectural decision records as Markdown, and maintain a company tech radar to avoid duplicated tech choices. Implements docs with Hugo, renders C4 from markdown, and stores ADRs in Log-for-Brains style workflows. At a 3,000‑person company these steps grow public docs from 4 to ~35,000 monthly views in six months and reduce repeat mistakes.
