Governance as Code: An Innovative Approach to Software Architecture Verification

by Yaroslav Panasyuk

Governance as Code (GaC) technology is an innovative technology in software architecture that enables automatic verification of a software system’s architectural consistency. In this article, we will delve into the details of this technology and its implementation and encourage you to consider how it could be applied, at least in part, within your organization.

Architectural Control is the process of verifying that a software system (its actual architecture) complies with the set of architectural rules and its designed architecture.

Large technology companies and enterprises typically operate on a large scale in terms of human resources and the software systems they develop and manage. It’s not uncommon for them to employ tens of thousands of engineers and operate thousands of software systems in a production environment, most of which are under active development and improvement. Given this scale, it’s crucial to ensure that all these systems operate…
