Weighing a microservices approach means covering all architecture bases

Dynatrace

Many organizations are taking a microservices approach to IT architecture. Then, they can split these services into functional application programming interfaces (APIs), rather than shipping applications as one large, collective unit. However, in some cases, an organization may be better suited to another architecture approach.

How Agile Architecture Spikes Are Used in Shift-Left BDD

DZone

An architecture spike in agile methodologies usually implies a software development method, which originates in the extreme programming offshoot of agile. It boils down to determining how much effort is needed to solve a particular problem or discover a workaround for an existing software issue.

Rethinking Programming: Automated Observability

DZone

Especially when we are moving away from monolithic software systems to microservices-based architectures, observability becomes a key aspect of the system design. In a software system, in order to acquire observability, we mainly implement the following aspects: logging, metrics, and tracing.

Self-documenting Architecture

Strategic Tech

I’ve heard the opinion from many technical leaders that it is reasonable to expect a new hire to take upto 6 months to learn about the code, the domain, and the architecture before they become fully productive. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.
