Instead, there are many hard parts--difficult problems or issues with no best practices--that force you to choose among various compromises. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures.Architecture veterans and practicing consultants Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, and Zhamak Dehghani discuss strategies for choosing an appropriate architecture. By interweaving a story about a fictional group of technology professionals--the Sysops Squad--they examine everything from how to determine service granularity, manage workflows and orchestration, manage and decouple contracts, and manage distributed transactions to how to optimize operational characteristics, such as scalability, elasticity, and performance.By focusing on commonly asked questions, this book provides techniques to help you discover and weigh the trade-offs as you confront the issues you face as an architect.• Analyze trade-offs and effectively document your decisions• Make better decisions regarding service granularity• Understand the complexities of breaking apart monolithic applications• Manage and decouple contracts between services• Handle data in a highly distributed architecture• Learn patterns to manage workflow and transactions when breaking apart applications* Book description: © O’ReillyThe interview is based on Neal's & Mark's co-authored book "Software Architecture: The Hard Parts"RECOMMENDED BOOKSFord, Richards, Sadalage & Dehghani • Software Architecture: The Hard PartsMark Richards & Neal Ford • Fundamentals of Software ArchitectureFord, Parsons, Kua & Sadalage  • Building Evolutionary Architectures 2nd EditionFord, Parsons & Kua • Building EvBlueskyTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!
