Long-lasting software architectures

At the beginning of a project, the architects and the development team use all their expertise and experience to create a customised architectural blueprint for the upcoming development. But during implementation, the team often unintentionally deviates more and more from this blueprint and builds up technical debt.

In this book, the author shows which mistakes should be avoided in software projects when implementing the architecture in order to develop long-lasting architectures. With over 200 colour illustrations from real software systems and numerous case studies, both bad and good solutions are presented in an understandable and comprehensible way. Recommendations and a wide range of tips from practical projects allow the reader to transfer these directly to their daily work.

A portrait of the author

Dr Carola Lilienthal

Dr Carola Lilienthal is a senior software architect and Managing Director of WPS - Workplace Solutions GmbH in Hamburg. She is responsible for software architecture and regularly shares her knowledge at conferences, in articles and at training courses. The training of software architects is particularly close to her heart, which is why she is an active member of iSAQB, the International Software Architecture Qualification Board.

Carola Lilienthal graduated from the University of Hamburg in 1995 with a degree in computer science, where she wrote her doctoral thesis on the complexity of software architectures. Since completing her studies, she has been involved in the development of professional software in a wide variety of technologies. Since 2003, she has regularly analysed the architecture of software systems on behalf of her clients and summarised the results in quality reports and prioritised refactoring measures. In total, she has analysed more than 300 software systems with between 30,000 and 15 million LOC in Java, C++, C#, ABAP, PHP and TypeScript.
