Architecture Conformance Rules - Enforce Standards Automatically | Archyl

Define architecture conformance rules and automatically enforce naming conventions, dependency boundaries, technology standards, and structural patterns.

Enforce Architecture Standards Automatically

Define architecture rules -- dependency constraints, naming conventions, technology standards, layer boundaries -- and let Archyl check them automatically. Governance that scales without bottlenecks.

Architecture Conformance Rules | Automated Governance | Archyl

Enforce architecture standards automatically with conformance rules. Define dependency constraints, naming conventions, technology standards, and layer boundaries. Archyl checks them for you.

Standards exist only on paper

Your team agreed on architecture standards, but there's no automated way to enforce them. Violations slip through code reviews.

Architecture erosion over time

Small deviations compound. A shortcut here, a wrong dependency there, and suddenly your clean architecture is a tangled mess.

Manual governance doesn't scale

Architecture review boards and manual checks can't keep up with the pace of modern development. Bottlenecks form and standards slip.

Create conformance rules in Archyl's UI or in your archyl.yaml file. Rules cover dependencies, naming, technologies, and layer boundaries.

Archyl evaluates your model

Archyl checks your entire C4 model against your defined rules. Every system, container, component, and relationship is validated.

See a clear report of every violation: what rule was broken, which element is affected, and why it matters.

Run conformance checks in your pipeline. Block PRs that introduce architecture violations before they reach main.

Dependency constraints

Define which layers, containers, or components can depend on which. Prevent unauthorized cross-layer communication.

Enforce naming patterns for systems, containers, and components. Keep your architecture model consistent and searchable.

Restrict which technologies can be used in which contexts. Ensure teams use approved stacks and don't introduce unapproved tools.

Define architectural layers and enforce that elements respect their boundaries. Prevent presentation-layer code from accessing data directly.

Get a conformance score across your entire model. Track compliance trends and identify areas that need attention.

Auto-check on changes

Conformance rules are automatically evaluated whenever your architecture model changes. Violations are flagged immediately.

Microservices governance

Ensure microservices respect domain boundaries, use approved communication patterns, and don't create unintended couplings.

Platform team standards

Platform teams define architecture standards once. Every product team's architecture is automatically checked against them.

Regulated industry compliance

In finance, healthcare, or government, architecture rules encode regulatory requirements. Automated checks prove ongoing compliance.

Architecture standards that enforce themselves

Define your rules once, let Archyl enforce them forever. No more manual reviews, no more architecture erosion.
