Quick takeaways
- Implement Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA) to align with Minimum Viable Product (MVP) releases, preventing over-architecting and ensuring architectural commitments match product increments.
- Quality Attribute Requirements (QARs) play a critical role in architecture planning, requiring continual refinement to adjust based on evolving system performance and user needs, promoting an empirical approach to validate architectural hypotheses.
Deep dives
Minimum Viable Architecture and Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
The concept of Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA) is discussed in relation to the better-known concept of Minimum Viable Product (MVP). MVA involves breaking down a larger architecture into smaller parts, akin to slicing a product into incremental releases. Each part aligns with an MVP and serves as a contract to support functionality deliveries. The interconnectedness between MVP and MVA ensures that architectural commitments match the delivered product increments, preventing over-architecting and avoiding surprises when transitioning to production.
