As patient care continues to evolve, IT teams have accelerated this shift from legacy, on-premises systems to cloud technology to more build, test, and deploy software, and fuel healthcare innovation. This is a critical challenge: When software breaks, finding the root cause of the problem may take time, fuel finger-pointing among teams.

Titus internally employs a cellular bulkhead architecture for scalability, so the fleet is composed of multiple cells. Many bulkhead architectures partition their cells on tenants, where a tenant is defined as a team and their collection of applications. We do not take this approach, and instead, we partition our cells to balance load.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is hugely important for medium and large organisations. However, if nobody reads the documentation and it gets out of date quickly, it’s a tick-box exercise rather than a value creating one. In my experience as a consultant, EAs are not having the impact they should. Enterprise Architects are smart people.

This kata is split into four sections that address different aspects of architecting software systems. Is each domain core, supporting, or generic? There’s no correct answer for this activity.

Despite all of the risks that commonly befall an IT project, we still deal with IT planning as an exercise in deterministic forecasting: if these people do these things in this sequence we will produce this software by this date. That’s an apt description for a lot of what goes on in IT, too. The plan is treated as a certainty.
