I started writing “ Serverless Architectures ” in May 2016. Of course publishing it on Martin Fowler’s site was always going to get it to a wider audience (thanks Martin!) Because of course it did. Finally, of course, there’s the community section. I thought a few folks might be interested.

It’s easy to imagine a lot of software professionals saying, “Of course you’ll have to know C. Is the craft of software architecture different from the craft of programming? We don’t really have a good language for describing software design. But I don’t know if that’s true. We’ve been here before.

Schools and universities have had to adapt to a remote environment while companies such as Pluralsight have stepped up and offered online courses for free or at a discount. We’ve certainly been affected by this shift at Particular with the cancellation of our popular Advanced Distributed Systems Design (ADSD) course this year.

Layers start to emerge and as a result, shipping new customer-facing features require changes that cut through multiple layers of the architecture. Being aware of the patterns inherent to layered sociotechnical architectures can save you a lot of pain and politics in the long-term. As a consequence, we also have subservient teams?—?teams

The change is already underway.

The decentralization of our software architectures has become a Gordian Knot that is too hard to untangle through UAT and traditional functional and load testing scripts. The quality of their experience with the app is all about checking that the dinner will arrive when promised.

Concepts relate to each other in multiple ways. Before committing to a design choice, sketch out all of the possible ways of grouping a concept.

Those cloud providers will, of course, have to guarantee this data remains private–as private as it is when it lives on a personal disk drive or an office fileserver. We recently conducted a survey on serverless architecture adoption. That’s a problem that’s eminently solvable. That’s the real promise of 5G. Mike Loukides.

Below is a sample of the rough first iteration of notations Gien and I threw together over the course of a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. It’s not possible to give each small team their own copy of the model as a basis for designing their architecture. In my in-person workshops, I’ve faced this hard limitation.

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. With loosely-coupled architectures we can invest more granularly where payback is greatest. Diligently-crafted boundaries give us strategic-flexibility.
