Continuous-Architecture-Toolkit

Purpose

For Digital and Agile enterprises wanting to leverage the architecture discipline to better steer their transformation journey while coping with the exponential flow of changes, Continuous Architecture Toolkit provides materials (posters, kits, roles description, rituals) to frame the new way of doing architecture and accelerate the change management among architects, delivery and operation teams.

Building the Continuous Architecture website on your machine

Asciidoctor and Jekyll

The Continuous Architecture landing page is built with Jekyll, the content with Asciidoctor. The website building is done with Docker image of Jekyll (in which the jekyll-asciidoc plugin is used as specified in the Gemfile) to avoid any specific environment trouble. The website static HTML files are generated in the dist directory.

MacOS

• Install Docker Desktop

• Run the build.sh script at the directory root with either "build" or "serve" parameter.

  • build will generate the files in the dist directory

  • serve will allow you to view the generated website in your browser 0.0.0.0:4000 as long as the container is running

• if you only want to generate html files from the asciidoc sources, you can use the build-docs.sh script

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 and others sharing the same ideas about the evolution of architecture in the world of information system design and this project is now maintains by the following core group of people:

• Thierry Fraudet (Michelin)

• Olivier Jauze (Michelin)

• Nicolas Chevalier (Gluendo)

• Frédéric Lé (youragileway.com)

• Corentin Moussard (Graphic Designer)

• Jerome Regnier (Société Générale)

• Jérémie Grodziski (Adixe)

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.
