Evolutionary & Fitness-Function-Driven Architecture

Evolutionary architecture means your design can adapt and improve over time, guided by fitness functions—tests and metrics that show if changes make things better or worse. This lets teams grow the system step by step, learning as they go.

It's like training for a race. You start slow, track your speed and health, and adjust your routine to get stronger. The goal is steady progress, not a perfect plan from the start.

  • Continuous improvement: Design evolves with each release
  • Fitness functions: Automated checks that guide decisions
  • Adaptability: Embrace change, don't fear it

Evolutionary architecture lets you grow and adapt your system, guided by real feedback, like an athlete training for a race.
