  • Jepsen: Testing the Partition Tolerance of PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB and Riak

    Distributed systems are characterized by exchanging state over high-latency or unreliable links. The system must be robust to both node and network failure if it is to operate reliably--however, not all systems satisfy the safety invariants we'd like. In this article, we'll explore some of the design considerations of distributed databases, and how they respond to network partitions.

  • Agile Software Architecture Sketches and NoUML

    Understanding the software architecture of what you're building can prevent chaos and encourage collective code ownership. In the race for agility though, many teams struggle to do this, particularly since they've abandoned UML in favour of "boxes and lines" sketches. Moving fast requires good communication, but how do you do this without resorting to big design up front and UML?
