There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. Martin Fowler argues that internal quality of a software system enables new features and improvements to be delivered more sustainably.

This is such a fundamental difference, that many architectural choices from native platforms don’t easily apply to the web — if at all. iOS empowers developers to easily parallelize code using Grand Central Dispatch , Android does this via their new, unified task scheduler WorkManager and game engines like Unity have job systems.

For example, changing our database architecture to be more efficient could save on server costs. Making performance improvements to a client’s site could result in happier clients who send more business our way. Performance Mode” sounds a lot more appealing than “Eco Mode”, which sounds like something is being taken away.

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. Decoupling Streams of Work Our goal when designing systems is to maximise the speed of delivery and value of the work we deliver.

Data Scientists play a vital role in building automated systems that leverage causal inference to decide how we spend our advertising budget. To understand the validity of our causal claims, we perform sensitivity analyses to evaluate the robustness of our findings. Beyond average treatment effects.

These metrics are unique in the sense that they abstract away from details like team structure, technical architecture and tool implementations to measure the flow of software delivery work that creates and protects business value across the entire value stream.

There are thousands of ways we can shape the software systems we build and organise our teams around them. Sociotechnical systems are complex systems formed of complex systems. The products themselves are software systems which grow harder and harder to reason about as they scale and age.

Organisations maximising the advantages provided by microservices tend to be organisations which view microservices not just as a technical tool, but a sociotechnical tool.The way software systems are shaped determines the communication paths and the coupling between development teams. As a consequence, we also have subservient teams?

If we accept the fact that Agile is a value system and not a set of mechanical processes, it stands to reason that there must be something different about the norms and behaviors of Agile managers vis-a-vis traditional managers.

There isn’t too much validation performed by AWS, as far as I can tell, on SAR apps. while you need to provide the application package to the SAR service via S3 (as is performed by the aws cloudformation package command before you call SAR), that S3 bucket is not what is used by consumers. Next, let’s consider security.
