System Dynamics & Evolution
Every closed system strives toward disorder (entropy).
Software systems are unfortunately no exception. It is therefore crucial to design architectures that actively counteract this inevitable decay by regularly accepting change as a natural phenomenon.
A system that does not adapt becomes a risk. Adaptability is therefore a crucial quality. Only by anticipating change can structures be created that remain stable over many years without becoming obsolete.
Modular architectures are resilient. The goal is to decouple complexity. As in biological systems, parts must be interchangeable without jeopardizing the whole. That is the difference between a monolith and an ecosystem.
Through the consistent application of techniques such as domain-driven design, data meshes, and micro services, problems are precisely modeled and flexibly solved. The technology follows the problem, not the other way around.
