Principle Applications

One page summaries that review a single solution or technical decision. Each considers how the architectural principles influenced the solution's design.

Issue Reviews

Short reviews consider project-based decisions or outages with significant technical impacts. The Technology Architecture Group provides technical recommendations based upon the architectural principles. In sharing these issues, we hope to stimulate thinking of how the principles can be applied to other situations.
