Operations overview
This section documents how the Balyze project is structured and operated from a technical and organizational perspective.
It provides a system-level view of how repositories, documentation, and operational concerns are organized to support long-term development.
Scope
The Operations section covers:
- repository organization and responsibilities
- documentation boundaries
- operational principles
- long-term maintainability considerations
It does not describe business features or end-user behavior.
Guiding principles
Operational decisions for Balyze follow a few core principles:
- clarity over cleverness
- explicit responsibilities
- separation of concerns
- evolution without structural refactoring
These principles apply to both code and documentation.
Repository organization
Balyze is composed of multiple repositories, each with a clearly defined role.
This separation allows:
- independent evolution of components
- controlled visibility (public vs private)
- clear onboarding for contributors
- reduced coupling between concerns
A detailed description of each repository is available in:
Documentation boundaries
Documentation is split according to its audience:
- technical documentation for contributors
- user documentation for end users
- API documentation for integrators
Each documentation set is versioned independently and lives in its own repository.
Audience
This section is intended for:
- maintainers
- developers joining the project
- contributors needing a high-level operational view
It is not intended for end users.
