Why Your Architecture Should Fail the Build: The CI/CD Revolution Nobody Asked For

Architecture testing in CI/CD pipelines isn’t just another checkbox, it’s a fundamental shift in how we treat software design. Tools like ArchUnit, arkitect, and dependency-cruiser are turning architectural rules from wishful thinking into build-breaking enforcement.

Your Architecture Diagrams Are Already Dead (You Just Haven’t Buried Them Yet)

Architecture drift isn’t a tooling problem, it’s a fundamental mismatch between how we build software and how we document it. Here’s why your diagrams are lying to you and what actually works.
