Measures how often APIs/interfaces are changed; indicator of structural stability.
Time from commit to production deployment of a component; measures deploy autonomy.
Share of incidents affecting multiple components; indicator of coupling.
Splitting a large monolith into clearly bounded modules with defined interfaces.
Use of layered model (presentation, domain, persistence) to separate concerns.
