Architecture is something we usually get for free from our web frameworks, and then struggle with as we try to keep servers standing when our projects succeed. There's a reason for this: the vast majority of our frameworks are based on patterns that worked in 2007 but don't match today's need for highly reliable, highly scalable applications.
