Working Within a Hybrid Estate

• When to refactor
• When to introduce new patterns
• Avoid over-engineering while still moving the platform forward

Engineering Quality & Design

• Apply strong engineering principles:
• SOLID
• Separation of concerns
• Testability where practical
• Review existing implementations before building new solutions to:
• Avoid duplication
• Maintain consistency across systems

CI/CD & Environments
