Look inside a current textbook on software architecture, and youll find few patterns that we dont apply at Amazon. The diversity of products demands that we employ modern regression techniques like trained random forests of decision trees to flexibly incorporate thousands of product attributes at rank time.

I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures. The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed. primarily virtual?—?and

Perhaps led by strong managers, they will fight vehemently for their work to be prioritised and software systems to be designed to their needs. This organisational pattern can be mirrored in the software architecture, emphasising the sociotechnical nature of systems. These concepts also apply to distributed architectures.

The team can become a bottleneck for many other teams, and this design choice can be the result of elevated organisational politics. This is a high level of coupling between the contexts and the teams that own them.

It’s one thing to identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations for a specific website or a few similar websites, and quite another when dealing with many millions of websites, having such a wide variety of functionality, and an almost total freedom of design. Instead, we have to accommodate all of this variability, mostly on-demand.

It's a given that we must design a system, including a local software architecture, that actually runs, that is "solid." This is supported in real terms through standards and consistent application of conventions, both in the information architecture (i.e., It must be useful, have utility. Solid doesn't mean inflexible.

In-person training and conferences have been postponed, cancelled, or transitioned to the virtual world. We’ve certainly been affected by this shift at Particular with the cancellation of our popular Advanced Distributed Systems Design (ADSD) course this year. My colleagues who’d attended it before felt the same way.

One thing stand-out to me is being intentional and practical about your engineering organisation design. First and foremost, being intentional about organisation design requires good and honest discussions about all possible option. In this model, software architecture and code ownership is a reflection of the organisational model.

How will you design the most effective architecture which supports short-term goals and long-term evolution? Another piece of design feedback is that we can’t replace the generic context with an off-the-shelf solution. How would you architect the solution? More importantly, how would you resolve this decision in the team?

Scott Havens, Senior Director of Engineering at Mode Operandi, highlighted the benefits of event-based systems over legacy approaches, and how software architecture should be just as beautiful as the clothes on sale. Just look at how ugly that service-oriented architecture is!” Compliance doesn’t need to scary, stressed Levins.
