Version in force: 0.3.0 (6 October 2026).

Reference architecture

A layered view of Defra's technology - from the services users see down to the shared platforms and infrastructure they run on - is planned for a future iteration of this site.

Draft - to be confirmed

This page is a placeholder. A reference architecture for Defra is planned for a future iteration of this site.

To be confirmed

TODO: the scope of the reference architecture, who owns it and when it will be published.

Until then:

  • the technology capabilities map shows what technology must do, in Technology Business Management (TBM) level 1 and level 2 areas
  • the service patterns show early, exploratory shapes for common kinds of Defra service
