## Entries

- [Portability](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/portability.md): The degree to which software runs on another platform or environment without code changes.
- [Platform Independence](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/platform-independence.md): A design rule that portable layers reach the operating system and vendor services only through abstractions.
- [Environment Parity](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/environment-parity.md): A design rule that development, test, staging and production run the same build, differing only in configuration.
- [Containerization](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/containerization.md): A mechanism that packages an application with its runtime dependencies into an image that runs the same on any host.
- [Infrastructure as Code](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/infrastructure-as-code.md): The practice of declaring infrastructure in versioned files and provisioning it from them.
- [Standards Compliance](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/standards-compliance.md): A rule or precondition that an implementation conforms to the published standard for its protocol, format or domain.
- [Protocol Independence](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/protocol-independence.md): A design rule that domain logic is written against ports, and each transport protocol reaches it through its own adapter.
- [Configuration Externalization](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/configuration-externalization.md): A design rule that environment-specific values are read from validated external configuration at startup.
- [Immutable Infrastructure](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/immutable-infrastructure.md): An approach in which servers are replaced from a new image for every change, instead of being patched in place.
