Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. High-level Process Sections Conceptually, there are three major sections to a modernisation process.

Having just concluded participation in another In-Memory Computing Summit , it has become even more clear to me that the key to mainstream adoption of in-memory computing software platforms is architecture — the root of a platform’s value to applications. These priorities tend to push the architecture to the back burner.

I’ve just created a new kata which you and your team/friends can use to practice your architecture and domain-driven design skills. This kata is split into four sections that address different aspects of architecting software systems. First with a domain quiz, and then by slicing up the provided event storm into domains.

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.

A Model For Describing The Architecture of a Business Before defining team responsibility ownership patterns and comparing their trade-offs, it’s necessary to have common ground on the language used to define responsibilities a team may own. We need a model that describes the different elements of a system that a team could own.

Modernizing an architecture usually take years. Even a decade or more is nothing out of the ordinary for large organizations who have accumulated legacy and heritage systems over long periods of time. As a result, there can be pressure to begin modernizing a part of the system that will have a clear business impact.

It’s much better to build your process around quality checks than retrofit these checks into the existent process. NIST did classic research to show that catching bugs at the beginning of the development process could be more than ten times cheaper than if a bug reaches production. However, it’s not a unit test.

The key to loose coupling is to understand how the system you are building is going to change, and minimising the cost of those changes. Is there any way it’s possible to predict the future so that our architecture can easily absorb the changes we need to make of it? It could be a microservice or a module within a monolith.
