That statement nicely summarizes what makes software development difficult. That code may take the form of dozens of microservices running as asynchronous processes and communicating over a network. What is the overall structure, the overall architecture, of these programs? Controlling complexity is.” It certainly does.

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.

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.
