Technology Architecture

Technology architecture specifies the hardware, software, network, and cloud infrastructure patterns that support application and data workloads. It includes standards for compute, storage, middleware, observability, and resilience. Technology choices should trace to non-functional requirements and target operating model constraints.

In Practice

Larkinized LLC aligns technology architecture with cloud governance and portfolio rationalization to avoid orphaned platforms. Reference architectures and pattern libraries accelerate consistent deployment across business units. Technology roadmaps express capacity, obsolescence, and vendor lifecycle decisions explicitly.

Example

A technology architecture standard mandates container orchestration, centralized logging, and zero-trust network segmentation for all new microservices.
