Intro and Problem Statement
Early this year, the book Software Architecture Metrics: Case Studies to Improve the Quality of Your Architecture was published.
Christian Ciceri, co-founder and chief architect for Apiumhub, is one of the co-authors. He wrote a chapter that is particularly useful in contexts where the architecture and environment still have many opportunities for improvement. He emphasizes the importance of private builds in the development process, with the underlying principle of his reasoning being easily understandable — you should make use of private builds and run their tests on your local machine, in an environment as close as possible to production, to obtain feedback on your build as soon as possible.
