ScaleOut Software

JUNE 29, 2018

Having just concluded participation in another In-Memory Computing Summit , it has become even more clear to me that the key to mainstream adoption of in-memory computing software platforms is architecture — the root of a platform’s value to applications. The digital twin model for stateful stream-processing is a case in point.

This kata is split into four sections that address different aspects of architecting software systems. All architecture decisions are ultimately driven by a company’s business model, so I think this is a sensible starting point. I’ve used it a few times now and it seems to have worked well so I thought it would be good to share.

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.

If the service is subjected to intermittent heavy loads, it can cause performance or reliability issues. The queue acts as a buffer , storing the message until it is retrieved by the service.
