Radial Architecture

Orchestrating agents in large systems

Putting AI to work in existing systems through observable, accountable agents

Radial Architecture is a system architecture model for organizations building large, multi-domain platforms in an era of AI, composable systems, and continuous change.

It focuses on how large systems converge around a governing center, how work flows through contracts instead of ad-hoc integrations, and how AI can participate in those flows without breaking reliability, ownership, or trust.

This site explores those ideas through the lens of composable commerce, not as a vertical, but as a demanding, real-world proving ground for modern system architecture.

Radial architecture for composable commerce and modular systems

Radial Architecture is a system architecture model for composing complex, multi-domain systems, especially those that integrate AI, leveraging distributed domain patterns. This article focuses on applying the patterns of radial architecture to large scale composable commerce.
