Our colleagues wrote a Netflix Tech Blog post describing the details of this architecture. As you may recall from a previous blog post , Netflix has standardized on Spring Boot for backend development. At Netflix we strongly prefer schema-first development because: The schema design is front and center of the developer experience.

Answer-driven DevOps automation goes beyond creating tickets and extends to executing workflows designed to extract ownership information and then route the ticket to the responsible teams. They intend to roll it out to the production environment.

Traditional AIOps: Traditional AIOps approaches are designed to reduce alerts and utilize machine-learning models to deliver correlation-based dashboards. Today, applications are built from hundreds or thousands of interdependent microservices scattered across many clouds, leading to incredibly complex software environments.

Before jumping into either of those scenarios, have a look at what Strategic Domain-Driven Design can offer you. This means a software architecture should be purposely designed for the most favourable business consequences. It also means that understanding the business model is a pre-requisite for designing a software architecture.

O ne of the principles behind the design of Kubernetes is to always look at optimiz ing the utilization of compute resources by the workload. You might not manage that infrastructure yourself, especially if you run Kubernetes in public clouds, but you still need some level of visibility on the resource usage patterns. . ?

The fatal flaw in this line of thinking is Conway's Law : software mirrors the communication patterns of the organization that develops it. Not only is this not value-generative, it adds a layer of decision making intermediation and creates ambiguity in responsibilities for requirements, analysis, design, and prioritization.

Before designing a solution it’s important to understand the main product requirements for such a feature: The content needs to be new, relevant, and regional (not all countries have the same catalogue).

Domain-Driven Design is an approach to designing systems, usually software, that emphasises creating a common language between domain experts and system builders. By having fuzziness in DDD, we can explore, model and solve new and novel problems because the existing patterns and principles don’t over-constrain our thinking.

The result is that we create better designed software systems and teams of problem solvers rather than order takers.
