People use these words to try and articulate the types of work and activities they are referring to, or where they are in the process of building something new. In my work, I often encounter software developers who refer to the software as the solution space. the backlog) and implementing them in software is the solution.

Thoughtful and effective decision-making was a key trend at the O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference in Berlin 2019. The ability to make good decisions might be the most important aspect of a software architecture practitioner’s job. Every day.every week.every month, you make critical architectural decisions.

Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform. We live in the era of the connected experience, where our daily interactions with the world can be digitized, collected, processed, and analyzed to generate valuable insights. Accumulating all this data to process overnight is not an option anymore.

To demonstrate this process, we will build a canvas for the following fictitious example (inspired by real examples from our consulting work): A large logistics company wants to expand into new verticals and integrate its offerings into an emerging open marketplace. They need a more loosely coupled architecture and empowered teams.

A trip to the supermarket can teach you a lot about designing software systems and shaping teams to build them… I was recently in need of some chocolate sauce.

We suspect this points to a general drift toward software teams taking more responsibility for infrastructure, and increasingly, enabled by serverless options. As noted earlier, the majority of survey respondents are software engineers. Industries of survey respondents. The third stand-out issue was “no server maintenance.”

Likewise, the term "architect" didn't enter popular usage to describe a role in the software field until the late 1990s. It's a given that we must design a system, including a local software architecture, that actually runs, that is "solid." the user experience and design) and within the software construction itself.

This presents technology leaders with one of the most difficult modernization challenges: where to start and in which order to modernize? The need to keep delivering product enhancements and new innovations while modernization is in process is one big factor, and dependencies between modernization work items is another.

Agile is not, and never was, about getting developers to write software faster. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. This is important. Neckbeards? Geeks and nerds?

It’s a nice pattern which enables a single team to own the entire codebase, user experience, and deployment process. Subdomains which are closely related and part of the same domain share some of their domain concepts or contain adjacent steps in a business process. A web app, an Android app, or an iOS app for example.

But it comes with the overheads of having to find a time where everybody can be present and not working. If information is less essential and does not require immediate processing to avoid teams becoming unaligned, the overheads of INSB alignment can be inefficient. Without this planning, you are pitting teams against each other.
