Continuous Architecture Toolkit

image::continuous-architecture-logo.png[ca-logo]

Purpose

For Digital and Agile enterprises wanting to leverage the architecture discipline to better steer their transformation journey while coping with the exponential flow of changes, Continuous Architecture Toolkit provides materials (posters, kits, roles description, rituals) to frame the new way of doing architecture and accelerate the change management among architects, delivery and operation teams.

Gouvernance

We aim to make contributing to Continuous Architecture Toolkit a pleasant and enriching experience for all participants, and we welcome contributions of all kinds. Anyone can contribute to the project, regardless of their skills.

Check out our Governance for information on how to get involved.

Building the Continuous Architecture website on your machine

The Continuous Architecture landing page is built with Jekyll, the content with Asciidoctor and we embed some Tailwind UI components.

MacOS

Before being able to generate locally the website, you need to install a couple of pre-requisites

• RUBY
• NodeJS & NPM: brew install nvm
• Then you need to setup your shell. Here is an example for ZSH. vi ~/.zshrc:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && . "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && . "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" # This loads nvm bash_completion

• Install the latest version of node: nvm install --lts
• Postcss is neded: npm install postcss
• To setup and setup Tailwind, brew install yarn then yarn add tailwindcss@^1
• To setup the Gems needed by Jekyll, execute gem install bundler then bundle install. It will read the Gemfile and load all needed dependencies

Finally, run the below command to

• either build JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll build. It will generate the files in the dist directory
• or serve your website locally JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll serve. It will allow you to view the generated website in your browser 127.0.0.1:4000

Maintainers

Continuous architecture toolkit was initially developed by Thierry Fraudet & Olivier Jauze from Michelin and by Nicolas Chevalier from Gluendo to setup an agile architecture operating model and to support the Michelin digital journey.

They were quickly joined by a group of enthusiasts from DXC, Société Générale and others, sharing the same ideas about the evolution of architecture in the world of information system design and this project is now maintained by the following core group of people:

• Frédéric Lé, youragileway.com
• Corentin Moussard, Graphic Designer
• Jerome Regnier, Société Générale
• Jérémie Grodziski,Adixe
• Romain Chapon,Michelin
• Yoni Boukhobza,Société Générale

note: sadly, Jean-Marc Bunouf passed away before the first MVP of our open source project. Even thought he couldn't make it to the end, Jean-Marc greatly contributed to our project and we're all very thankfull to him.
