Evolution and Challenges in Software Architecture
This chapter explores the changes in software architecture over time, from upfront decisions to continuous evolution, the impact of Agile on different types of architecture, challenges in fitting fixed budgets into continuous delivery models, managing technical debt intentionally, gathering requirements by running systems in production, and the importance of cultural expectations, domain knowledge, and people skills in architecture consulting. The chapter also discusses the value of listening to experienced voices, transitioning from old to new systems while considering human needs over technical aspects.
