This article explores the real-world challenges of rightsizing developer platforms and finding a cultural match for engineering teams who use them to reduce cognitive load and deliver change faster.</p> <i>By John Keates</i> Delivering Quality Developer Experience Coding Standards Artifacts & Tools Architecture Infrastructure Platforms Stories & Case Studies Platform Engineering Culture & Methods article Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/rightsizing-platform-engineering/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Software+Craftsmanship John Keates 2026-08-24T11:00:00Z /articles/rightsizing-platform-engineering/en https://www.infoq.com/articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Software+Craftsmanship <img src="https://res.infoq.com/articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/en/headerimage/header-1786428822427.jpg"/><p>Deterministic rules safeguard hard metrics, but what about architectural intent? Discover how agentic fitness functions combine AI agents and versioned rubrics to evaluate complex, judgment-heavy concerns—such as boundary fidelity, semantic contract drift, and stale ADR assumptions. Elevate evolutionary architecture governance with continuous, calibrated feedback loops.</p> <i>By Hemant Kumar Mahato, Łukasz Sieczkowski, Vijayasenthilkumar Kuppusamy</i> Governance Artificial Intelligence AI Architecture Code Quality Agentic AI Architecture Evolutionary Architecture InfoQ Certification Program Architecture Decision Records Architecture ICSAET AI, ML & Data Engineering Development Architecture & Design article Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Software+Craftsmanship Hemant Kumar Mahato, Łukasz Sieczkowski, Vijayasenthilkumar Kuppusamy 2026-08-17T11:00:00Z /articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/en
