Acceleration begins once a product has proved it will stay. The team shifts from trailblazing to rapid, directed expansion: standardizing practices, documenting the system, and creating a dependable base for growth. section 11.2
A practical acceleration workflow strengthens the product without making it rigid:
- Define shared linting, vetting, and documentation standards, like construction measurements and blueprints. section 11.2
- Break the application into modular pieces, inject dependencies through interfaces, and test modules independently with mocks and stubs. section 11.2
- Package the application and its dependencies in portable containers, using Buildpacks for optimized Google container-runtime images and separate developer containers. section 11.2
The goal is not growth at any cost. It is growth in the right direction: a documented, modular, testable system that teams can share across application boundaries and integrate with fewer problems. section 11.2
