Stop Doing Manual Architecture Reviews (Do This Instead)

Summary

The transcript explores three approaches to enforcing software architecture: using the compiler, code reviews, and architecture testing, with an analysis of their relative cost and performance. The speaker compares these methods across two key dimensions: cost (with the compiler being the most affordable and code reviews the most expensive) and performance (with code reviews being the slowest and the compiler being the fastest). The practical takeaway is that software architects should consider using compiler-based and architecture testing approaches to efficiently maintain and validate their software architecture's integrity.
