Coevolution of Architecture and Code - Closing the Gap?

In an ideal world we would have “Architecture as Code”, but in reality, we have “Architecture is what you can hopefully infer from the code you have”!  Every expert consultant and new hire asks the same question - What is the application architecture?  They get essentially the same reply from different companies on different products - “ In the beginning, we had a good architecture, we even had diagrams and architectural styles but then reality set in, we added a lot of developers, didn’t have time to update the architecture and quickly we disappeared into the code. Now we just have the code”.  In this talk, we explore closing the gap between architecture and code.
