The Architecture Decision Nobody Revisits
core99Labs Editorial Team7 min readSample Article
Teams tend to revisit decisions about frameworks, hosting and even programming languages. Decisions about which service owns which piece of data tend to get made once, early, and never questioned again.
That's a problem, because data ownership is one of the hardest things to change later. Untangling a shared database between services that have grown independent responsibilities is far more disruptive than swapping a framework.
Treating data ownership as a decision worth revisiting on a regular cadence — not just at initial design — tends to catch these problems while they're still cheap to fix.
