In the hustle to deliver value, development teams can unknowingly create software architectures that hinder their long-term progress. Initially, everything seems fine — features are shipping, continuous integration (CI) jobs are passing, and the product actually works. Yet, beneath the apparent progress, unchecked complexity can take root. What starts as manageable interactions between components can evolve into tangled dependencies and sprawling systems that hinder agility and slow innovation.
Overly complex flows and unnecessary dependencies escalate complexity and architectural technical debt, creating barriers to maintainability and leaving teams vulnerable to setbacks at the most inopportune times. Overly complex flows and unnecessary dependencies escalate both complexity and architectural technical debt, hindering maintainability and leaving teams exposed to setbacks at the worst possible times.
