Greenfield Development
O Pioneers! and Greenfield Projects
Homesteading an Architecture Before the Requirements Arrive
The prairie was blank, except for the ADRs no one had yet written.
The first commit is a claim staked against uncertainty. This book examines how new systems should choose their boundaries, data models, deployment paths, and observability before custom and weather harden every decision into landscape. It is particularly useful for engineers who believe a greenfield project contains no legacy, only legacy in seed form.
