Systems fail when connections are assumed instead of designed. This module focuses on architecture, integration, and the hard work of making complex systems behave coherently — technically, organizationally, and over time.
Every system boundary has a cost. Most organizations pretend it doesn't exist until it bankrupts a roadmap.
The case against perpetual iteration and for the radical act of finishing.
Why most event-driven architectures fail: they adopt the mechanism without the mental model.
A lightweight tool for documenting integration contracts between systems.
An earlier exploration of how implicit dependencies undermine system reliability.
Distributed doesn't mean decomposed. Most service architectures share more state than they admit.
