I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture. Architecture begins when someone has a nontrivial problem to be solved. Everyone who goes to architecture school learns his work. It must be beautiful, like Venus, inspiring love.

photo taken by Adrian Cockcroft A year ago I did a talk at re:Invent called Architecture Trends and Topics for 2021 , so I thought it was worth seeing how they played out and updating them for the coming year. I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures.

Consistency The topic and concept of consistency is very important when you work with a distributed database like Cassandra. When you’re working with a database which runs on only one server, consistency is a non-issue. Comments and thoughts welcome.

Back-end web development predominantly consists of three parts: a server, an application, and a database. The code written by back-end developers is what communicates the database information to the browser. It comprises programming languages, server-side frameworks, operating systems, databases, and APIs.

At one point, more than 30 developers were working on it, and it had well over 300 database tables. Leveraging Hexagonal Architecture We needed to support the ability to swap data sources without impacting business logic , so we knew we needed to keep them decoupled. The dependency graph in Hexagonal Architecture goes inward.

Most of what we do on our computers—fancy graphics, email, databases, building websites, data analysis, digital signal processing—can’t be done with quantum computing. The language, practices, and tools of cloud native architecture are prominent in Velocity Berlin proposals. Quantum computers of that scale are still a long way off.

You need an “abtest” database service. In a small system this may be a table in a central relational database, but it’s best setup as a NoSQL data source using something like Amazon DynamoDB or Apache Cassandra, with a caching client library or at large scale a microservice data access layer.

The microservices era has been good for software architecture. I remember when the idea of multiple databases was punishable by death. A domain service builds on the basic definition of a microservice: it’s a loosely-coupled, independently deployable element of software architecture which is owned by a single team.

Cloud-based data warehouses, such as Snowflake , AWS’ portfolio of databases like RDS, Redshift or Aurora , or an S3-based data lake , are a great match to ML use cases since they tend to be much more scalable than traditional databases, both in terms of the data set sizes as well as query patterns.

And it also engaged with the performance community as a whole, for example by attending conferences, bringing in domain experts, and studying up on modern architectures such as the Jamstack. Another advantage of field measurements is that they match the approach taken by Google in order to collect performance data into the CrUX database.
