In the previous post, I discussed several relevant drivers that lead to ever-increasing complexity of the IT landscape, creating layers over layers of technology over time that never get cleaned up. As the post would have become too long otherwise, I left out the mitigation options.

In the previous post, I discussed several drivers of accidental complexity on the implementation level and what we can do about it.

In the previous post, I completed the consideration of accidental complexity at the architecture level by discussing potential countermeasures to the drivers of accidental complexity which I discussed in the post before.

This post is about mitigation techniques regarding accidental complexity in the architectural level.

In the previous post, I discussed the technology explosion we could observe in the recent years, its drivers, how it often creates unneeded complexity, reinforcing drivers and what we can do about it.
