If you start catching bugs early, it will save you tons of time fixing them later.nn> Design reviewnnIt’s a very powerful tool when used in a good way. I really like what one of the smartest people with whom I worked said: “A good design is a design where you can see the code”. There are so many benefits.

A trip to the supermarket can teach you a lot about designing software systems and shaping teams to build them… I was recently in need of some chocolate sauce. Putting all my years of yoga practice to the test, I inhaled slowly, gracefully held the air in for a few seconds, and then slowly exhaled feeling at one with the universe.

Let’s start by considering the job of a non-ML software engineer: writing traditional software deals with well-defined, narrowly-scoped inputs, which the engineer can exhaustively and cleanly model in the code. In effect, the engineer designs and builds the world wherein the software operates. Software Architecture.

The infrastructure should allow them to exercise their freedom as data scientists but it should provide enough guardrails and scaffolding, so they don’t have to worry about software architecture too much. It leverages elasticity of the cloud by design?—?both On the surface, this doesn’t seem like much.

In Domain-Driven Design, a large system is decomposed into bounded contexts , which become natural boundaries in code as microservices and as teams in the organisation. The Bounded Context Design Canvas I designed this canvas based on the typical flow of strategic DDD workshops I run publicly and privately.

Netflix application identities are fundamentally attribute based: e.g. an instance of the Data Processor runs in eu-west-1 in the test environment with a public shard. To do so Netflix’s design required: An event based mechanism that could ingest information about application autoscaling groups. What was problematic about this design?

Designing the prompts to get DALL-E to do something extraordinary requires a new kind of technique that’s very different from understanding pigments and brushes. Copilot users still need to be programmers; they need to know whether the code that Copilot supplies is correct, and they need to know how to test it.

A strict definition of “cloud” must also include software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings of all kinds—including email (Google G Suite email; Microsoft Exchange Online), office productivity suites (Google Docs and Sheets; Microsoft Office 365), and similar offerings. 4 By the same margins—i.e.,

Discovery is about building hypotheses and testing ideas to put into a backlog while development is working through that backlog to build new features. The solution space is then broken down two parts — discovery and development, which is akin to what used to be called dual track agile.

It’s one thing to identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations for a specific website or a few similar websites, and quite another when dealing with many millions of websites, having such a wide variety of functionality, and an almost total freedom of design. Instead, we have to accommodate all of this variability, mostly on-demand.

One thing stand-out to me is being intentional and practical about your engineering organisation design. First and foremost, being intentional about organisation design requires good and honest discussions about all possible option. In this model, software architecture and code ownership is a reflection of the organisational model.

Many of the practices that enable teams to move quickly are the same practices that enable highly-reliabile systems: automation, observability, testing, and design. Moving from a single to multiple products can be one of those situations where architecture starts to get in the way.
