Technology architecture - Concept
Architecture
The high-level design of how a system’s parts fit and work together
What's it for?
Helps keep a system understandable by deciding how its main parts should fit together.
For example…
Before buying a new CRM, the team sketches the architecture so sales data doesn’t end up in five conflicting places.
A payments architecture separates the customer app, payment service and ledger so one change does not force everything to be rebuilt
Think of it like…
Building plan — rooms, doors, and wiring decided before the furniture arrives
