Codemotion·3yTips and Best Practices for Micro-Frontends
Codemotion Magazine: Micro-frontends are essentially small and independent front-end applications that can be used in a larger application as building blocks. Luca Mezzalira is Principal Serverless Specialist Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS) He shares some key best practices for Micro-Frontends.
Slack engineering·3yReal-time Messaging
Slack Engineering describes the architecture that we use to send real-time messages at this scale. Slack sends millions of messages every day across millions of channels in real time all around the world. We have a draining mechanism for region failures that seamlessly switches the users in a bad region to the nearest good region.
Developer.com·3yWhat is the Software Development Lifecycle?
The software development lifecycle (SDLC) can be thought of as a structured programming methodology that can be used to manage and control the software development process. SDLC defines the stages, flow, steps, and activities used to develop software. The SDLC is a framework programmers can follow to ensure that the software they create is high quality.
The Art of Simplicity·3yYour most important skill as an architect
Architect's most important skill is empathy, the ability to see things from their point of view, to emotionally understand what other people feel. As humans we are naturally wired for empathy. So start training your empathy muscle, be interested in others, learn about their needs, take the time to listen and try to understand their perspective.
Community Picks·3yClean Architecture – Make Your Architecture Scream
The Clean Architecture focuses on separating software into layers and making them independent of frameworks. It emphasizes the importance of business rules, entities, use cases, and interface adapters. The architecture should prioritize the use cases of the application rather than the frameworks or dependencies.
The Software House·3yMicroservices pros and cons for CTOs
Microservices offer several benefits such as codebase alignment with business domains, scalability, and easy deployment. They are suitable for complex projects and distributed teams. However, implementing microservices can be costly and requires strong DevOps capabilities. Moving from a monolithic architecture to microservices should be carefully planned and executed.
Machine Learning News·3yMeet Spectformer: A Novel Transformer Architecture Combining Spectral And Multi-Headed Attention Layers That Improves Transformer Performance For Image Recognition Tasks
The paper highlights how SpectFormer’s proposed architecture can better capture appropriate feature representations and improve Vision Transformer (ViT) performance. The team has made two contributions to the field: first, they suggest SpectFormer, a novel design that blends spectral and multi-headed attention layers to enhance image processing efficiency.
InfoQ·3ySoftware Architecture and Design InfoQ Trends Report - April 2023
Large language models are going to have a significant impact on architectural trade-offs. Sustainability of software will be a major design consideration in the coming years. Decentralized apps are taking blockchain beyond cryptocurrency and NFTs, but a lack of consumer demand will keep this as a niche pattern.
