Forms of Immutable Architecture

There are consequences to designing a system using only immutable records. Some of them are the advantages that we’ve already explored: overcoming unreliable communication channels, reduced blocking, increased autonomy, and improved auditability. Other consequences are less desirable. Many of them simply require a shift in thinking, while others demand entirely new solutions. As you adopt immutability into your application design, you will need to recognize how the architecture must change in response.
