I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. Vitruvius and the principles of architecture. Architecture begins when someone has a nontrivial problem to be solved. Everyone who goes to architecture school learns his work. It must be beautiful, like Venus, inspiring love.

Redis is like a database that resides in memory. Redis vs Memcached was originally published in Software Architecture on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story. Memcached does not support replication, whereas Redis supports master-slave replication.

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.

Consistency The topic and concept of consistency is very important when you work with a distributed database like Cassandra. When you’re working with a database which runs on only one server, consistency is a non-issue. Comments and thoughts welcome.

Cloud-based data warehouses, such as Snowflake , AWS’ portfolio of databases like RDS, Redshift or Aurora , or an S3-based data lake , are a great match to ML use cases since they tend to be much more scalable than traditional databases, both in terms of the data set sizes as well as query patterns.

Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform.

The microservices era has been good for software architecture. I remember when the idea of multiple databases was punishable by death. A domain service builds on the basic definition of a microservice: it’s a loosely-coupled, independently deployable element of software architecture which is owned by a single team.

You need an “abtest” database service. In a small system this may be a table in a central relational database, but it’s best setup as a NoSQL data source using something like Amazon DynamoDB or Apache Cassandra, with a caching client library or at large scale a microservice data access layer.

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.
