modular-design-principles

Design clear modular boundaries by applying principles for bounded contexts, explicit contracts, state ownership, composability, and dependency isolation to reduce unintended coupling and improve system maintainability.

Conduct an architecture review by assessing module structures to identify boundary violations and evaluating coupling, ownership, observability, and failure containment criteria across technology stacks.

Yes, you can use modular design principles for greenfield architecture planning, module split or merge decisions, and discussions about service or package organization across any technology stack.

Bounded context planning works by defining strict system boundaries and state ownership rules, ensuring components maintain explicit contracts and failure isolation criteria during decomposition decisions.

The limitation of technology-agnostic modular architecture guidance is that it requires explicit contracts, state ownership rules, observability considerations, and failure isolation criteria to effectively evaluate modular systems without relying on specific framework features.
