Modern organisations are increasingly turning to architecture as code (AaC) to keep systems design, security and governance aligned with rapid delivery.
The Architecture as Code book describes how codified representations of architecture, policy, governance and even cultural knowledge share common traits:
they use machine-readable formats, live in version control and are automatically validated.
Primary topics explored
- Maturity model for implementing architecture as code
- Interactive radar assessment
- Staircase overview of maturity progression
- Dimensions and “as code” aspects
- Assessment checklist for radar visualisation
- Maturity levels

The book covers everything from fundamental principles and tools to advanced implementation strategies, security aspects, and organisational changes required for successful IaC adoption.
IT architects, DevOps teams, developers, and decision-makers within organisations.
