Architecture-as-Code (AaC)
A lightweight framework that turns architecture into a living, version-controlled system — enabling teams to evolve, align, and govern architecture like code.
Available as part of the TROi product suite — built with Docs-as-Code principles and full Git integration.
ADRs — Architecture Decision Records
Versioned decision logs capturing context, options, trade-offs, and rationale. Enables traceability and collective decision intelligence.
Tech Radar — Technology Landscape
Visual map of adopted, trialed, assessed, or deprecated technologies — supporting strategic alignment and tech transparency.
Target Architecture — Principles & Roadmap
Defines principles, desired future state, and architectural evolution path — connecting strategy to implementation.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Version Control First | All architectural artefacts live in Git — fully traceable, reviewable, and evolvable. |
| Decision Traceability | Links architecture changes to business intent and code implementation. |
| Automation Ready | Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for validation, publishing, and governance. |
| Guided Autonomy | Teams move independently while staying aligned through shared principles. |
| Knowledge Retention | Architectural knowledge lives on — even when teams evolve. |
