Architectural flexibility allows for the system to be designed in a modular way, with different modules responsible for different tasks or contracts. This allows for a clear separation of concerns and contracts, as each module can focus on its specific functionality without being affected by the implementation of other modules.
For example, a system may have a module responsible for user authentication, another module for data storage, and yet another for processing transactions. By designing the system in a flexible way, changes to one module should not impact the functionality of the others. This allows for the contracts of each module to be clearly defined and maintained, without worrying about unintended consequences of changes to the system.
Additionally, architectural flexibility allows for easier updates and improvements to the system. As each module is designed to work independently, changes or upgrades can be made to one module without affecting the others. This supports the separation of contracts, as changes to contracts can be made in isolation and with minimal impact on the rest of the system.
