|
||||||||
|
Deployability
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Deployability
Determines how easily and quickly a system or its updates can be deployed to a production environment. Enables frequent and secure updates.
|
||||||||
|
Transaction Support
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Transaction Support
Ensures that system operations are performed consistently and atomically according to ACID principles. Guarantees data integrity during complex operations.
|
||||||||
|
Data Consistency
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Data Consistency
Guarantee that data remains consistent and correct throughout the system, even with simultaneous operations and possible failures.
|
||||||||
|
Simplicity of Architecture
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Simplicity of Architecture
The structure of the system is transparent and understandable, which facilitates implementation, development and team collaboration.
|
||||||||
|
Observability
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Observability
The ability of a system to generate data that allows for status analysis and problem identification. Facilitates rapid response to incidents and effective system management.
|
||||||||
|
Elasticity
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Elasticity
The ability to dynamically scale resources (e.g., add or remove computing power) in response to short-term fluctuating load.
|
||||||||
|
Responsiveness
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Responsiveness
The ability of a system to respond quickly to user requests and minimize delays, which affects the smoothness of interaction and comfort of use.
|
||||||||
|
Fault tolerance
|
||||||||
|
Architectural Driver: Fault tolerance
