Evolutionary Architecture: Building Systems That Can Change | Clickmasters

Automated checks that architectural qualities hold — dependency rules, latency budgets, coverage floors — so drift is caught by CI, not by the incident.

Strangler-fig replacement, incremental service extraction at proven seams, and ADRs recording each step — change as a routine, not an event.

Skipping the discipline this article describes until an incident, audit, or stalled project forces it — every practice above is cheaper adopted early than retrofitted under pressure.
