## Entries

- [Runtime Discovery](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/runtime-discovery.md): A mechanism that finds the available handlers, plugins or services at startup by matching a naming convention, a file pattern or metadata, and registers each one it finds in place of a hand-written list.
- [Service Discovery](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/service-discovery.md): A mechanism that resolves a service name to a healthy network endpoint at call time through a registry.
- [Dynamic Binding](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/dynamic-binding.md): A mechanism that selects the implementation behind an interface at runtime, from configuration or a registry, so the choice is made at bootstrap or first use rather than fixed in code.
- [Dynamic Dispatch](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/dynamic-dispatch.md): A mechanism that chooses which operation runs from the receiver or a keyed table at runtime, replacing a conditional over kinds.
- [Runtime Extensibility](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/runtime-extensibility.md): The degree to which new capability can be added to a running system through extension points, without modifying its core.
