Architecture as code

Architecture as Code Interview with Neal Ford and Mark Richards In this episode of the Thoughtworks Technology Podcast, Neal Ford and Mark Richards introduce the concept of Architecture as Code—a practical approach to defining and validating software architecture through executable specifications. They discuss using fitness functions to enforce architectural rules across code, data, and infrastructure layers, and explore how generative AI can automate test generation and architectural insights. This lightweight, dynamic method offers a compelling alternative to traditional, static models. A must-listen for architects seeking precision, automation, and governance at scale. #interview
