AbstractThere is always a tension between data Consistency and system Availability when Partitioning a system across datacenters (think CAP). Especially data cache-ing poses interesting challenges. Th...

When we design a building, we usually design it base on plane walls and right angles. Why is that? Sometimes we design a round form, however that becomes way more complex to build. Still, we try to st...
"Embrace modularity but beware of granularity" (Mark Richards)While using the Microservice architecture in software can buy you some agility if done right, I often see architectures where microservice...
Problem to solve:We create a core software entity, for example a Product - this will become root or parent entityThen we create multiple "child" entities that depend on Product. For example Order and...
You can actually prove that most software systems would work faster in a monolith than in a microservice architecture. Just put back together all the microservices in a monolith, mentally. Replace all...
