Learning Functional Programming in Go

Why does architecture matter?

Much like large buildings, complex software applications must be built on a solid foundation. In software, we sometimes call this our application framework.

If we do not consider the things mentioned in my article; things like functionality, security, extensibility, testability, and performance, then we will likely be unprepared for the consequences of our lack of forethought.  

Our exposure to risk will increase as we find our application becomes more costly to test, deploy, and maintain over time.

Design takes some time and effort, but it does not take long before that effort pays off.
