Devoxx: Evolutionary Architecture: How do you build systems that can evolve? by Nikhil Barthwal

Evolutionary Architecture treats your system’s blueprint as a living thing: instead of locking down a design at the start and watching it crumble under shifting requirements, you set up a culture of guided, incremental change. You define key characteristics—think scalability, security, agility, testability—and then use a fitness function to score how well each tweak nudges you toward your goals.

By evaluating every change across those dimensions, you keep your architecture healthy over time and avoid the dreaded big-bang re-architecture. In short, it’s about building systems that not only solve today’s problems but are designed to flex and grow as tomorrow’s challenges emerge.
