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. There were five trends and topics for 2021, Serverless First, Chaos Engineering, Wardley Mapping, Huge Hardware, Sustainability.

But with the complexity that comes with digital transformation and cloud-native architecture, teams need a way to make sure applications can withstand the “chaos” of production. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior. Dynatrace news. Chaos engineers ask why.

A software tester’s work life includes making sure that systems that have been designed to achieve specific results behave exactly as they should. These systems are a combination of different hardware and software which have been configured to perform the desired task. What is Configuration Testing? An Example.

What fascinates me most about the volatile keyword is that it is still necessary, for me, because my software still runs on a silicon chip. Modern processors, like the Intel Xeon or the AMD Ryzen, cache the values from the main memory in per-core caches to improve the memory access performance.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. It just means that from Software Development perspective, servers are abstracted and outsourced to another entity, so you don't need to worry about it. Serverless systems are still in their infancy.

I had a professor in grad school who used to joke that all architecture is reinvented every 5 years. Both virtualization and power burst onto the architecture community seemingly out of nowhere even though there was a clear historical basis and trend for both. We believed existing hardware and OS protocols protected the processor.

Many of the software engineering discipline and controls need to be brought over into an ML context.
