The reality of software architecture: far too often we define a “clean architecture”… only to see it not being followed ⛔
You’re not alone.
We document architecture.
We draw diagrams.
We align in meetings.
And then… reality happens.
💡 That’s where architecture fitness functions come in. Instead of hoping conventions are followed, you verify them continuously.
If you’re working in TypeScript, the best tool is ArchUnitTS.
➡️ Inspired by ArchUnit (Java)
➡️ Lets you express architectural rules as tests
➡️ Fails your CI when boundaries are violated
➡️ Keeps architecture alive, not just documented
📈 ArchUnitTS has been gaining significant traction lately, with growing adoption across teams and enterprises that want scalable, maintainable TypeScript codebases.
Examples of what you can enforce:
- Layered architecture rules
- Module boundaries
- Dependency direction
- Naming and structural conventions Architecture shouldn’t be a PDF nobody reads. It should be executable, testable, and enforced. If you’re tired of architecture erosion, here is the repo.
