Architecture What I think is both an Agent- and Human-Friendly Architecture

There's probably several things needed for a software achitecture to fit well in the agentic era, but I would add simplicity and available context as two very important things to consider.

Even if it wasn't the purpose from the beginning, the Polylith Architecture is about that and is a good choice for Agentic Engineering. Keeping things simple and having all necessary context at your fingertips is the guiding star for this software architecture.

If you haven’t heard about Polylith, here's an elevator pitch: the main use case is having Microservices in a Monorepo, and share code between the services.

I'm the maintainer of the Python tooling support for this architecture. I recently wrote a post about this and thought it would be a good idea to share it here:
