Adopt a Cloud-First, API-First, and Composable Architecture Approach

This standard mandates adopting a cloud-first, API-first, and composable architecture approach to ensure engineering investments enable flexibility and scalability.

1. Adopt a Cloud-First, API-First, and Composable Architecture Approach:

Ensure engineering investments enable flexibility and scalability. This approach ensures that systems are adaptable and efficient.

• 1.1 Cloud-Native API-First Architectures:
  • 1.1.1 Adaptability and Interoperability:
    • Build cloud-native, API-first architectures to support adaptability and interoperability.
    • Automate the generation of API documentation.
  • 1.1.2 Architecture Management:
    • Automate the tracking of cloud-native architecture implementations.
    • Implement architecture tutorials.
• 1.2 Modular and Scalable Design:
  • 1.2.1 Reusability Focus:
    • Design systems with modularity, reusability, and scalability in mind.
    • Automate the tracking of modular design implementations.
  • 1.2.2 Design Management:
    • Automate the tracking of reusability implementations.
    • Implement design feedback collection.
• 1.3 Vendor Lock-In Avoidance:
  • 1.2.3 Open Standards and Multi-Cloud Strategies:
    • Avoid vendor lock-in by leveraging open standards and multi-cloud strategies where feasible.
    • Automate the tracking of open standard implementations.
  • 1.1.3 Strategy Management:
    • Automate the tracking of multi-cloud strategy implementations.
    • Implement strategy tutorials.

By adopting this approach, organisations can improve flexibility and scalability.
