Beyond Enterprise Architecture: A Transferable Lens for Cloud and Solution Architecting
A common concern is scope: “This is enterprise architecture, does it apply to solution or cloud architecture?” The honest answer is: the artifacts differ by level, but the mechanisms travel well. Why transfer is defensible Demir et al. (2024) provide a careful bridge: software architecture is described as a stakeholder-negotiated process producing architectural decisions, and… Continue reading

Measuring Architecting: Time-to-Decision, Rework, and Incidents as Signals
If architecting is socio-technical decision-making, you should be able to observe it in the traces organizations already have. You do not need perfect metrics; you need useful signals. Why measurement is legitimate (and where to be careful) Architectural decision-making is not only technical. Industrial survey evidence describes software architecture as an “extensive process” in which… Continue reading

ADRs and Diagrams as Boundary Objects: Coordination Technology in Disguise
One of the most persistent misconceptions is that architecture artifacts exist primarily to satisfy documentation requirements. Empirical work suggests something more important: certain artifacts act as boundary objects that enable cooperation across professional communities. Boundary objects and why they matter EA practice uses EA artifacts as instruments of communication and collaborative decision-making intended to bridge… Continue reading

Why Architecture Work Breaks: Engagement Inhibitors and Coordination Friction
If architecting is socio-technical, then “progress” depends on more than technical correctness: it depends on coordination across stakeholders. The enterprise architecture literature is direct about this: communication and stakeholders are key problem areas, and a “lack of communication and collaboration” is characterized as a core obstacle to effective work (Kurnia et al., 2021, p. 4).… Continue reading

In this series, I’ll present a step-by-step guide to designing a scalable cloud architecture for a multi-energy, multi-step forecasting platform. This first post focuses on applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to structure the problem space and lay the foundation for implementation. Drawing from the 2025 paper “A Multi-Energy Meta-Model Strategy for Multi-Step Ahead Energy Load Forecasting”… Continue reading
