Quick Start for Seasoned Software Architects

For senior architects who need to enforce standards across large organizations.

This 5-minute course teaches you how to use Sruja to codify architectural policies, prevent drift, and scale governance across multiple teams—without slowing down development.

Why This Course?

As organizations grow, architectural standards become critical but hard to enforce. This course shows you how to:

• ✅ Codify policies as executable rules
• ✅ Prevent architectural drift automatically
• ✅ Scale governance across 100+ engineers
• ✅ Enforce standards in CI/CD without manual reviews
• ✅ Track compliance across services and teams

What You’ll Learn

• Policy as Code: Write architectural rules that run in CI/CD
• Constraint Enforcement: Prevent violations before they reach production
• Governance Patterns: Real-world patterns for large organizations
• Compliance Automation: Track and report on architectural compliance
• Team Scaling: How to roll out governance without friction

Who This Course Is For

• Senior/staff architects leading multiple teams
• Engineering managers responsible for architectural standards
• Platform teams building developer tooling
• Architects at companies with 50+ engineers
• Anyone implementing architecture governance

Prerequisites

• Experience with software architecture at scale
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines
• Basic understanding of Sruja syntax (or complete Getting Started first)

Estimated Time

5 minutes — Quick, actionable lessons you can apply immediately.
