Repository and architecture standardization

Case study in full

Example scenario

Stack profile: go-1.27 · Example scenario with typical orders of magnitude.

Several repositories of the same team follow different conventions for structure, dependencies and lint and test commands. Instead of explaining the alignment anew in every repository, the team defines one stack profile with guardrails and has it applied to all of them.

What stays with your team: Which conventions apply is your team's decision. The approval per repository before the change is applied stays with you.

What you need

• A stack profile with the target conventions.
• Guardrails that record these conventions as checkable rules.
• The repositories, connected to a tracker.
• Your approval per repository.

How the run works

1. The stack profile and its guardrails are defined once.
2. A ticket for aligning to the profile is created per repository.
3. The plan breaks the alignment into slices per convention: structure, dependencies, lint and test commands.
4. Each slice is checked against the guardrails before it counts as done.
5. The result arrives as one pull request per repository, referencing the shared profile.

What you get

• A reusable stack profile for all further repositories.
• Guardrail checks documented per repository.
• One pull request per repository, independently reviewable.
• An overview of which repositories already carry the profile and which are still to come.

Key figures

What stayed open

One repository is only partially aligned so far; a dependency change there is still under review.
