Software architecture, infrastructure, and operations are each changing rapidly. The shift to cloud native design is transforming both software architecture and infrastructure and operations. Also: infrastructure and operations is trending up, while DevOps is trending down. Coincidence?

As the pace of business quickens, software development has adapted. Increasingly, teams release software features more quickly to accommodate customer needs. As a result, organizations are weighing microservices vs. monolithic architecture to improve software delivery speed and quality. What is monolithic architecture?

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?

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. Martin Fowler argues that internal quality of a software system enables new features and improvements to be delivered more sustainably.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. It just means that from Software Development perspective, servers are abstracted and outsourced to another entity, so you don't need to worry about it. This reduces periods of underutilisation or non-use.

One of the key decisions we need to make in software architecture and in our organisations is when and where to create shared services and organise teams to build them. Typically they deploy software once a quarter and love to have code freezes. Creating a shared dependency can boost the productivity of downstream teams.
