Avoiding Technical Bankruptcy: a Whole-Organization Perspective on Technical Debt

Technical debt is not primarily caused by clumsy programming, and hence we cannot hope to fix it by more skilled programming alone. Rather, technical debt is a third-order effect of poor communication. What we observe and label “technical debt” is the by-product of a dysfunctional process. To fix the problem of accumulating technical debt, we need to fix this broken process.

You’re Doing it Wrong: it’s Not about Data and Applications – It’s about Processes

Classic developer thinking tends to approach application design from a data-centric point of view. When the domain is process management, that often leads to excess complexity and work; it also (wrongly) over-reduces proactive processes to quick bursts of automation triggered by data changes. There’s a better way to do this: start with the process.

Lightweight External Business Rules

Complex enterprise applications usually come with varying business logic. Such conditions and subsequent system actions, known as rules, are ever varying and demand involvement of domain specific knowledge more than technology and programming. The rules must reside outside the codebase, authored by people with core domain expertise with minimal tech knowledge.

Microservices — the Letter and the Spirit

Microservices to be a pattern of ‘decoupled services’ managed to get the best out of it (the underlying understanding of the pattern (‘small’ vs ‘decoupled’) forces developers to take certain design decisions that are consistent with these objectives. In this article discuss we will discuss well and poor implementations: ‘small-services’ vs ‘decoupled-services’ or ‘Letter’ vs the ‘Spirit’.

Solutions for Testing Blockchain: Private Blockchains, Permutations, and Shifting Left

Blockchain is an emerging software architecture that has the potential to be a big disruptor in the industry. With change however, comes the added risk of quality issues. As developers and test engineers, we need to be prepared for those changes to better adapt to the new technology and allow for the continued development of software and products through it, without compromising on quality.
