PURISTA is an architecture move before it is a framework choice.
For a CTO, the risk is not that a team writes too little code. The risk is that the first delivery shape becomes the permanent architecture: handlers own business decisions, cloud SDKs leak into domain logic, message contracts are implicit, and deployment choices become expensive to change.
PURISTA keeps three decisions separate. First, define the business capability and its contracts. Second, implement the business logic behind those contracts. Third, inject the runtime adapters for bridges, stores, telemetry, config, secrets, providers, and deployment shape.
That gives the organization a clean path: ship as one application when speed matters, split services when ownership changes, and move toward Kubernetes or distributed execution when the operating model justifies it.
