Architecture Patterns That Travel Across Industries

The patterns that solve your hardest distributed systems problems were already solved — in a submarine, a postal sorting office, and an electrical panel. Most architects never look.

...each domain solves the same underlying problems — concurrency, failure isolation, state management, consistency under load — independently. As if the others do not exist. This is not ignorance. It is proximity...

The Architecture Review Is Broken. Replace It with Fitness Functions.

The architecture fitness function literature solved code-level governance. It never made the claim that the board itself becomes optional. Here is the missing argument — and the economics that prove the board is the slower and more expensive option.

...system handle the defined load? Availability — is each service meeting its defined uptime target? Data consistency — are eventual consistency windows within the defined boundary? Tier 2 catches problems that...

You Cannot Improve an Architecture You Have Not Measured.

Enterprise architecture maturity is not a feeling. It is a score. Organizations that cannot measure their architecture maturity cannot improve it. The EAMS model gives you the score.
