I’ve been disappointed for a long time with the way in which companies organise software development teams. I remember as a young, naive software developer, I assumed there would be structured processes and patterns similar to those used for designing a software architecture. A clear warning sign.

When it comes to organising engineering teams, a popular view has been to organise your teams based on either Spotify's agile model (i.e. One thing stand-out to me is being intentional and practical about your engineering organisation design. squads, chapters, tribes, and guilds) or simply follow Amazon's two-pizza team model.

Detailed performance analysis for better software architecture and resource allocation. For example, you can count specific error or alert events and chart them, create Service Level Indicators for SLO tracking, or feed the events back to the Dynatrace Davis AI-engine for refined root-cause analysis.

As companies strive to innovate and deliver faster, modern software architecture is evolving at near the speed of light. It allows for the breaking up of heavy monolithic architectures into multiple serverless “functions.” Understand and optimize your architecture. Dynatrace news. Optimize timing hotspots.

Given that I have frequently written about many of these technologies on this blog I asked investor relations to be allowed to reprint it here. Look inside a current textbook on software architecture, and youll find few patterns that we dont apply at Amazon. You can find the original here.

Scott Havens, Senior Director of Engineering at Mode Operandi, highlighted the benefits of event-based systems over legacy approaches, and how software architecture should be just as beautiful as the clothes on sale. Just look at how ugly that service-oriented architecture is!” Photo credit: @DOES_USA.

One of the key decisions we need to make in software architecture and in our organisations is when and where to create shared services and organise teams to build them. The shared service will ultimately remove an extremely high level of duplication and allow hundreds of engineers to spend more time on activities with a higher value.

Building general purpose architectures has always been hard; there are often so many conflicting requirements that you cannot derive an architecture that will serve all, so we have often ended up focusing on one side of the requirements that allow you to serve that area really well. From CPU to GPU.

Less than a decade ago the smartest and most senior engineers I worked with told me “The cloud is nice but it’s not going to be for most companies, especially us.” It’s not possible to give each small team their own copy of the model as a basis for designing their architecture. That aged well. A Wardley Map.

When your software system communicates with external systems or devices, there is good reason to isolate all communication with the external system into a single place and perform the relevant translation there. engine mode) Ideally, each context would be an Open Host. I call this pattern The Gateway Interchange Context.

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. With loosely-coupled architectures we can invest more granularly where payback is greatest. Diligently-crafted boundaries give us strategic-flexibility.
