From Prototype to Platform: The Architecture Shift

Platforms need boundaries

When a product becomes a platform, APIs, tenancy, permissions, and migration strategy matter much more than rapid feature hacking.

Reliability becomes product value

As the customer base grows, uptime and supportability become part of the product itself.

Architecture should serve the roadmap

The goal is not purity; the goal is enough structure to keep the product moving without collapsing under its own growth.
