Daily links for software, solution, data & enterprise architects.

Software Architecture

Modern Software Architecture Patterns That Scale in 2026 (UpCloud) – A grounded look at why most architecture advice is written for billion-user scale, and how that mismatch quietly burns smaller teams.
Architecture in the Age of AI: Change and Opportunity (InfoQ eMag) – A collection on the architect’s shift from manual design to “meta-design,” including the Three Loops framework for balancing AI oversight with delegation.
Architecting Autonomy: Decentralising Architecture Inside an Organization (InfoQ eMag) – Practical patterns — guardrails not gates, declarative architecture, fitness functions — for keeping AI-accelerated teams coherent without bottlenecking them.

Solution Architecture

Architecture as Code and the CALM Model (Jim Gough via InfoQ) – How treating architecture decisions as code closes the gap between developers and infrastructure, with patterns for automating security reviews.
Where Architects Sit in the Era of AI (Dave Holliday, João Carlos Gonçalves, Manoj Kumar Yadav via InfoQ) – The “Three Loops” (In, On, Out) framework for deciding when to delegate design work to AI versus retain direct control.

Data Architecture

Engineering LinkedIn’s Job Ingestion System at Scale (LinkedIn Engineering, via Data Engineering Weekly) – How LinkedIn moved source onboarding from hard-coded extraction logic to configuration-driven “Sitemaps,” cutting onboarding from weeks to hours.
DataJunction: Netflix’s Answer to the Missing Piece of the Modern Data Stack (Netflix Tech Blog) – An open-source semantic layer decoupling metric definitions from compute, standardizing metrics with full lineage for LLM integration.
Uber’s Data Abstraction Layer (Uber Engineering, via Data Engineering Weekly) – Fronting OLAP, Docstore, and Hive with a layer that routes queries to physical candidates at query time, so schema changes stop breaking downstream products.

Security Architecture

Inside AWS Security Agent: A Multi-Agent Architecture for Automated Penetration Testing (AWS Security Blog) – A technical deep dive into how specialized agents split attack-surface mapping, exploitation, and validation to deliver pen testing that used to take weeks.
Operationalizing AWS Security: A Maturity Roadmap (AWS Security Blog) – A phased roadmap for turning Security Hub and GuardDuty findings into a sustained operational practice, not just a dashboard nobody reads.

Enterprise Architecture

Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise Architecture (EA Voices) – A practitioner’s take on what changes — and what doesn’t — in EA practice as agentic systems take on more autonomous decision-making.
Enterprise Architecture Tooling in 2026 (Dr. Mehmet Yildiz) – A survey of where AI is genuinely useful in EA repositories today (documentation, relationship suggestions, natural-language queries) versus where it isn’t yet.
Architecting an Agentic AI System with TOGAF 10: A Step-by-Step Guide (Dr. Armando Fandango) – Walks the TOGAF ADM phases applied specifically to an agentic AI system, including where security has to be threaded through every phase.

Video Pick of the Week

Lesson 220 – Collaborating With The Business (Mark Richards, Software Architecture Monday) – Mark Richards’ long-running weekly series continues with a lesson on bridging the architect-business gap; the channel is one of the most consistently cited resources for practitioners moving from developer to architect roles.

The Blueprint is a daily, no-fluff digest of the best architecture writing on the web — software, solution, data, security, and enterprise. One line, one link, no filler.
