Applied Architecture Papers
A definitive collection of technical standards and architectural patterns for building sovereign, high-throughput enterprise systems.
A Reference Architecture for Cloud-Native Enterprise Platforms at Scale
This paper addresses the challenge of managing operational complexity during the transition from monolithic to cloud-native architectures. It identifies a gap in existing approaches by providing a canonical Reference Architecture (A1) for building sovereign, scalable, and secure enterprise platforms.
High-Throughput Distributed Systems: A Queue-Theoretic Approach
This paper addresses the challenge of maintaining system stability and low latency (under 50ms p99) when handling machine-generated traffic exceeding 250,000+ RPS. It presents a validated model based on queue theory, partitioning, and explicit backpressure.
Enterprise Observability: From Passive Monitoring to Operational Intelligence
Addresses the insufficiency of traditional 'Three Pillars' observability in hyper-scale systems. Proposes a shift to 'Operational Intelligence' using a unified telemetry pipeline and cost-aware sampling.
Platform Governance in Multi-Cloud Architectures: Guardrails, Not Gates
Addresses the challenges of maintaining governance across heterogeneous cloud environments. Proposes a 'Platform-Native Governance' model using Policy-as-Code to decouple definition from enforcement.
Modernizing Monolithic Systems: A Pattern-Language for Incremental Migration
Addresses the high failure rate of 'Big Bang' rewrites. Formalizes the 'Strangler Fig Pattern' with a focus on 'Outside-In Extraction' and 'Event-Driven Decoupling' for safe modernization.
Adaptive Policy Enforcement: Decoupling Intent from Implementation
Addresses the 'Policy Brittleness Paradox'. Introduces the Adaptive Policy Enforcement (APE) framework, a 'Late-Binding' approach that decouples policy intent from concrete implementation.
