Purpose

The Continuous Architecture toolkit offers guiding ideas, practices, rituals and methods. Unlike most existing enterprise architecture or agile at scale frameworks, Continuous Architecture:

• Starts from your problems instead of promoting generic organizational or architecture models
• Operationalizes the shift from project to product
• Leverages the power of modern software engineering practices
• Is truly open

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
• change the directory: cd landing
• Install Postcss: npm install postcss
• Install Yarn then add Tailwind (UI widget library we're using), brew install yarn then yarn add tailwindcss@^1
• Install Gems needed by Jekyll with the following command 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, France Travail, Thales Group 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
• Celia Carceller Kemiche, France Travail
• François Bivaud
• Gael Herent
• Olivier Trantoul

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.
