Summary

This chapter brought you on a journey to discover what goes into a logical architecture and an example of a logical reference architecture. You also discovered key aspects of the architecture driving best practices. By forming your own logical reference architecture diagram, you can create an architecture that may be communicated to technical staff and gain feedback prior to gaining funding. Via structured and guided solution architecture processes, data engineers and software engineers may make proper choices for tool and solution design decisions. There will be many choices. The physical architecture will be completed next during many agile sprints. You learned that conceptual capabilities have become real features that are needed in the solution. You provided details for the development of the physical architecture to become a strawman next and then incrementally enhanced through development epochs.

The data-as-a-product principle became real in the logical architecture...
