System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Evaluate architecture and module boundaries using Juval Lowy's volatility-based decomposition to ensure boundaries encapsulate axes of change behind stable interfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify sequence volatility vs activity volatility to guide boundary placement.
  • Evaluate and name boundaries based on the volatility they encapsulate, reducing blast radius.
  • Provide practical guidance when reviewing decompositions, services, and abstractions in codebases of various sizes.

Quick Start

Determine the axes of change in a module and apply Lowy's framework to decide if a boundary isolates volatility behind a stable interface.
