Architecture transformation refers to a significant change or shift in an organization's existing architecture to adapt to new business requirements, technology advancements or to address systemic issues. It could involve replacing an entire architecture with a new one or re-engineering specific aspects of the architecture. It is a deliberate and planned effort intended to achieve a specific goal.
On the other hand, architecture evolution involves incremental and continuous changes to the architecture over time. It involves the integration of new technologies, features and functionalities over an extended period. Unlike architecture transformation, it is not a major shift in the architecture but rather a gradual and ongoing process of improving the existing architecture.
In summary, architecture transformation and architecture evolution differ in terms of their scope, intention, and magnitude. While architecture transformation is a significant change, architecture evolution involves a gradual and continuous improvement.
