The Netflix video processing pipeline went live with the launch of our streaming service in 2007. This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. Several promising ideas were abandoned owing to the outsized work needed to overcome architectural limitations.

I don’t advocate “Serverless Only”, and I recommended that if you need sustained high traffic, low latency and higher efficiency, then you should re-implement your rapid prototype as a continuously running autoscaled container, as part of a larger serverless event driven architecture, which is what they did.

Egnyte is a secure Content Collaboration and Data Governance platform, founded in 2007 when Google drive wasn't born and AWS S3 was cost-prohibitive. Over time, costs for S3 and GCS became reasonable and with Egnyte’s storage plugin architecture, our customers can now bring in any storage backend of their choice. Offline access.

The first generation of this system went live with the streaming launch in 2007. As time passed the number of developers more than tripled, the breadth and depth of our use cases expanded, and our scale increased more than tenfold, the monolithic architecture significantly slowed down the delivery of new features.

As a result, management concerns itself with cost minimization and efficiency of expenditure. IT risks are much the same: we may aggressively manage scope or find some efficiency, but by and large these and many other factors will conspire to delay our projects. Robustness is the antithesis of efficiency. It's a guess.

However, there are a number of other important applications: Manufacturer-sponsored discounts can fall into this category because a retailer is not concerned about the cost of the incentives (covered by the manufacturer), only about efficient targeting.
