Software Architecture¶

Software Architecture is the shared understanding that a development team holds about the major structures of their system and the reasoning behind them. Rather than being a fixed blueprint, it is a living conversation about constraints, quality goals, and the boundaries between parts. Teams that invest in making architecture explicit find it easier to onboard new members, evaluate change requests, and recognize when accumulated decisions are pulling the system in conflicting directions.
