Over the last few articles, I've written about architecture from several different angles.
Good architecture creates engineering momentum because it helps teams make better decisions early. It includes observability because systems can't be improved if they can't be understood. It plans for failure because production always introduces uncertainty. And it supports change because software that cannot evolve eventually stops delivering value.
As I thought about how to conclude this series, I realized something.
None of those ideas stand on their own.
They're all really about one thing.
