Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Vernon))

Update Your Architectural Practices for New Challenges, Environments, and Stakeholder Expectations
“I am continuously delighted and inspired by the work of these authors. Their first book laid the groundwork for understanding how to evolve the architecture of a software-intensive system, and this latest one builds on it in some wonderfully actionable ways.”
–Grady Booch, Chief Scientist for Software Engineering, IBM Research
Authors Murat Erder, Pierre Pureur, and Eoin Woods have taken their extensive software architecture experience and applied it to the practical aspects of software architecture in real-world environments. Continuous Architecture in Practice provides hands-on advice for leveraging the continuous architecture approach in real-world environments and illuminates architecture’s changing role in the age of Agile, DevOps, and cloud platforms. This guide will help technologists update their architecture practice for new software challenges.

As part of the Vaughn Vernon Signature Series, this title was hand-selected for the practical, delivery-oriented knowledge that architects and software engineers can quickly apply. It includes in-depth guidance for addressing today’s key quality attributes and cross-cutting concerns such as security, performance, scalability, resilience, data, and emerging technologies. Each key technique is demonstrated through a start-to-finish case study reflecting the authors’ deep experience with complex software environments. Key topics include:
Creating sustainable, coherent systems that meet functional requirements and the quality attributes stakeholders care aboutUnderstanding team-based software architecture and architecture as a “flow of decisions”Understanding crucial issues of data management, integration, and change, and the impact of varied data technologies on architectureArchitecting for security, including continuous threat modeling and mitigationArchitecting for scalability and resilience, including scaling microservices and serverless environmentsUsing architecture to improve performance in continuous delivery environmentsUsing architecture to apply emerging technologies successfullyRegister your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Update your architecture practice for new software challenges How teams can work together to capture insights with simple pictographs, show their work, solicit feedback, and get everyone on the same page Solve strategic problems between business decision-makers and technical team members Principles and processes to help you succeed across the entire API design lifecycle Proven patterns for designing high-value, evolvable APIs—for any domain, technology, or platform Leverage the serverless mindset to build and deploy software faster, better, and with less expense.

Hands-on advice for leveraging the continuous architecture and illuminates architectures changing role in the age of Agile, DevOps, and cloud platforms. Step-by-step case studies introduce the method’s easy pictographic language, scenario-based modeling techniques, workshop format, and relationship to other modeling methods. Realistic examples demonstrate how to construct well-designed monoliths that are maintainable and extensible, and how to gradually redesign and reimplement even the most tangled legacy systems into truly effective microservices. Learn how to align every stakeholder on specific outcomes, design APIs that deliver value, and scale the design process from small teams to the entire organization. This practical guide cuts through the complexity of API communication and message content, introducing rich and complete guidelines and heuristics for designing APIs sustainably and specifying them clearly. In this definitive guide, Joseph Emison shows how to leverage serverless for maximum customer value. He reveals why mindset is crucial to modern IT strategy and explains why and how to move toward a truly serverless mindset.
