Computer scientist Ralph Johnson wrote in 2003, “Architecture takes care of the important things. Whatever they are.” in a mailing listThe question of what is critical material can be answered in many ways and many different approaches have been established. Software architects break systems down into sensible components, otherwise a dangerously large ball of mud would form. So modules, monoliths, moduliths or microservices are created, depending on which approach the architects choose. You can also look at the life cycle of a software according to evolutionary principles. However, everyone fears destroying poorly maintained legacy systems.
