I'm joined this week by one of the authors of Apache Kafka In Action, to take a look at the state of Kafka, event systems & stream-processing technology. It's an approach (and a whole market) that's had at least a decade to mature, so how has it done? What does Kafka offer to developers and businesses, and which parts do they actually care about? What have streaming data systems promised and what have they actually delivered? What's still left to build?–Apache Kafka in Action: https://www.manning.com/books/apache-kafka-in-actionPat Helland, Data on the Inside vs Data on the Outside: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3415014Out of the Tar Pit: https://curtclifton.net/papers/MoseleyMarks06a.pdfMartin Kleppmann, Turning the Database Inside-Out: https://martin.kleppmann.com/2015/11/05/database-inside-out-at-oredev.htmlData Mesh by Zhamak Dehghani: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Data-Mesh-Delivering-Data-Driven-Value/dp/1492092398Quix Streams: https://github.com/quixio/quix-streamsXTDB: https://xtdb.com/Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@developervoices/joinAnatoly's Website: https://zelenin.de/Kris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/Kris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/krisajenkins

Fredrik snackar data med Benny Andrén och Hugo Hjertén - expereter på data och röster i podden Datastudion. Data man har i sin organisation och vill göra bättre saker med - strukturera, göra tillgänglig, utvinna information och insikter ur och rent allmänt skapa värde. Data är där agile var - företag säljer datapaketet, men förståelsen finns inte än. Vi diskuterar också hypehantering, och inte minst AI-hantering. Att komma in och få företag att göra bra saker istället för att jaga den senaste trenden utan att ta reda på varför. Vad är en dataplattform, och varför behöver Fredrik en? Se plattformen och jobb med data som en produkt som levererar värde. Ifrågasätt data - man måste inte bara tänka inom den data man råkar ha precis nu.

Data Mesh bricht traditionelle, monolithische und zentralisierte Datenstrukturen auf und betrachtet Daten aus einer neuen Perspektive. Das Konzept basiert auf vier Prinzipien: Domain Ownership, Betrachtung von Daten als Produkt, Förderung von Self-Service und geförderter Governance.Beide Experten diskutieren verschiedene Use Cases, die durch diese Art von Datenintegration ermöglicht werden. Ein Beispiel ist die Korrelation von Vertriebs- und Produktionsdaten, um Kundeninformationen abzugleichen und Analysen durchzuführen. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist der "Product Carbon Footprint", bei dem Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen wie ERP-Systemen und Produktionsdaten zusammengeführt werden müssen.Abschließend betonen Stephan Schiffner und Roland Mackert die Vorteile der dezentralisierten Datenansätze. Diese ermöglichen es Unternehmen, flexibel und effizient auf ihre Daten zuzugreifen und diese für geschäftliche Entscheidungen und Analysen zu nutzen. Die Technologie von Starburst Data, die auf der Trino SQL-Query-Engine basiert, spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle.---Relevante Folgenlinks:Stephan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephan-schiffner/)Roland (https://www.linkedin.com/in/roland-mackert/)Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen

Le Data Mesh est la nouvelle tendance des ces dernières années dans le monde de la data. Initiée par Zhamak Dehghani en 2019, cette notion est trop souvent employée en tant que buzzword, c'est-à-dire qu'on en parle sans trop savoir ce que c'est. Bien que reposant sur des fondamentaux accessibles à tous, la notion reste encore trop perméable aux interprétations et donc incompréhensions. Avec Yoann Benoit, CTO de Hymaïa, une société de conseil spécialisé dans la data, nous vous proposons de revenir sur la genèse de ce concept pour ensuite évoluer avec des bases solides sur des possibilités d'implémentation.    Pour en savoir plus sur le Data Mesh : https://www.hymaia.com/qu-est-ce-que/data-mesh

The introduction and socialization of data mesh has caused practitioners, business technology executives and technologists to pause and ask some probing questions about the organization of their data teams, their data strategies, future investments and their current architectural approaches. Some in the technology community have embraced the concept, others have twisted the definition while still others remain oblivious to the momentum building around data mesh. We are in the early days of data mesh adoption. Organizations that have taken the plunge will tell you aligning stakeholders is a non-trivial effort. But one that is necessary to break through the limitations that monolithic data architectures and highly specialized teams have imposed over frustrated business and domain leaders. However, practical data mesh examples often lie in the eyes of the implementer and may not strictly adhere to the principles of data mesh. Part of the problem is the lack of open technologies and standards that can accelerate adoption and reduce friction.This is the topic of today's Breaking Analysis where we investigate some of the key technology and architectural questions around data mesh. To do so, we welcome back the founder of data mesh and Director of Emerging Technologies at ThoughtWorks, Zhamak Dehghani.

The data mesh is a thesis that was presented to address the technical and organizational challenges that businesses face in managing their analytical workflows at scale. Zhamak Dehghani introduced the concepts behind this architectural patterns in 2019, and since then it has been gaining popularity with many companies adopting some version of it in their systems. In this episode Zhamak re-joins the show to discuss the real world benefits that have been seen, the lessons that she has learned while working with her clients and the community, and her vision for the future of the data mesh.

Enjoy! RR Episode 08 – The Grateful Data, Live and on Tour In this Episode, Quest Senior Consultants, Dave Orlandi and Amit Parikh, share their gratitude for being part of the ever-evolving data landscape. Into the Rabbit Hole (related resources) – Data Mesh: A New Paradigm for Data Management by Dave Vellante referencing the works of author and technologist, Zhamak Dehghani. https://siliconangle.com/2021/10/27/data-mesh-new-paradigm-data-management/ 

A thoughtful conversation examining the paradigm shift and the unlearning required to build a data-driven organization at scale. Hear Zhamak, the founder of data mesh, discuss what data mesh is and what it isn't. This conversation provides insights, failsafe tips, and inspiration to use data to augment and improve business and life.

Zhamak Dehghani is a software engineer, architect, and founder of data mesh. Zhamak founded the concept of data mesh as the paradigm shift needed in how we manage data at scale. Meet Zhamak and learn how data mesh will help organizations achieve data-driven value at scale.

Data mesh is a new way of thinking about how to use data to create organizational value. Leading edge practitioners are beginning to implement data mesh in earnest. Importantly, data mesh is not a single tool or a rigid reference architecture. Rather it's an architectural and organizational model that is designed to address the shortcomings of decades of data challenges and failures. As importantly, it's a new way to think about how to leverage and share data at scale across an organization and ecosystems. Data mesh in our view will become the defining paradigm for the next generation of data excellence. In this Breaking Analysis we welcome the founder and creator of data mesh, author, thought leader, technologist Zhamak Dehghani, who will help us better understand some of core principles of data mesh and the future of decentralized data management. With practical advice for data pros who want to create the next generation of data-driven organizations.

“What is a data mesh?” It's one of the most frequently asked questions on this podcast, and is almost a microcosm for data and analytics as a whole. It may be the next big thing. It may be yet another passing fad in architectural design. We compared and contrasted it with data fabric in Episode 32 and spoke with Zhamak Dehghani, the founder of the data mesh paradigm in Episode 44. We even hosted a special panel discussion dedicated to data mesh. After all these discussions, we are still trying to figure out what it is. So, we're settling this the only way we know how: a good old-fashioned debate. Only one side can win. This episode will feature: The definitive(ish) definition of data mesh A look at why organizations struggle to understand and implement it What is your data “hot take” that everyone else disagrees with?

The data mesh architectural paradigm shift is all about moving analytical data away from a monolithic data warehouse or data lake into a distributed architecture—allowing data to be shared for analytical purposes in real time, right at the point of origin. The idea of data mesh was introduced by Zhamak Dehghani (Director of Emerging Technologies, Thoughtworks) in 2019.  Here, she provides an introduction to data mesh and the fundamental problems that it's trying to solve. Zhamak describes that the complexity and ambition to use data have grown in today's industry. But what is data mesh? For over half a century, we've been trying to democratize data to deliver value and provide better analytic insights. With the ever-growing number of distributed domain data sets, diverse information arrives in increasing volumes and with high velocity. To remove the friction and serve the requirement for data to be consumed by operational needs in various use cases, the best way is to mesh the data. This means connecting data through a peer-to-peer fashion and liberating data for analytics, machine learning, serving up data-intensive applications across the organization, and more. Data mesh tackles the deficiency of the traditional, centralized data lake and data warehouse platform architecture. The data mesh paradigm is founded on four principles: Domain-oriented ownershipData as a productData available everywhere in a self-serve data infrastructureData standardization governanceA decentralized, agnostic data structure enables you to synthesize data and innovate. The starting point is embracing the ideology that data can be anywhere. Source-aligned data should serve as a product available for people across the organization to combine, explore, and drive actionable insights. Zhamak and Tim also discuss the next steps we need to take in order to bring data mesh to life at the industry level.To learn more about the topic, you can visit the all-new Confluent Developer course: Data Mesh 101.

Zhamak Dehghani, Director of Emerging Technologies at ThoughtWorks joins Dave Vellante for theCUBE on Cloud 2021.

Monolithic applications present challenges for organizations like Saxo Bank, including difficulties when it comes to transitioning to cloud, data efficiency, and performing data management in a regulated environment. Graham Stirling, the head of data platforms at Saxo Bank and also a self-proclaimed recovering architect on the pathway to delivery, shares his experience over the last 2.5 years as Saxo Bank placed Apache Kafka® at the heart of their company—something they call a data revolution. Before adopting Kafka, Saxo Bank encountered scalability problems. They previously relied on a centralized data engineering team, using the database as an integration point and looking to their data warehouse as the center of the analytical universe. However, this needed to evolve. For a better data strategy, Graham turned his attention towards embracing a data mesh architecture: Create a self-serve platform that enables domain teams to publish and consume data assetsFederate ownership of domain data models and centralize oversights to allow a standard language to emerge while ensuring information efficiency Believe in the principle of data as a product to improve business decisions and processes Data mesh was first defined by Zhamak Dehghani in 2019, as a type of data platform architecture paradigm and has now become an integral part of Saxo Bank's approach to data in motion. Using a combination of Kafka GitOps, pipelines, and metadata, Graham intended to free domain teams from having to think about the mechanics, such as connector deployment, language binding, style guide adherence, and data handling of personally identifiable information (PII). To reduce operational complexity, Graham recognized the importance of using Confluent Schema Registry as a serving layer for metadata. Saxo Bank authored schemes with Avro IDL for composability and standardization and later made a switch over to Uber's Buf for strongly typed metadata. A further layer of metadata allows Saxo Bank to define FpML-like coding schemes to specify information classification, reference external standards, and link semantically related concepts. By embarking on the data mesh operating model, Saxo Bank scales data processing in a way that was previously unimaginable, allowing them to generate value sustainably and to be more efficient with data usage. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the following:Data meshTopic/schema as an APIData as a productKafka as a fundamental building block of data strategyEPISODE LINKSZhamak Dehghani Kafka Summit 2021 KeynoteData Mesh 101 CourseData Mesh Principles and Logical ArchitectureSaxo Bank's Best Practices for a Distributed Domain-Driven ArchitectureWatch video version of this podcastJoin the Confluent CommunityLearn Kafka on Confluent DeveloperDemo: Event-Driven Microservices with ConfluentUse PODCAST100 to get $100 of free Confluent Cloud (details)

Data Architecture is evolving and there are many questions with various perspectives. What is the balance between centralization and decentralization? How do you start treating data as a product? How do you incentivize people? What's the role of Data Mesh, Data Fabric, Knowledge Graphs? This special edition of Catalog and Cocktails is the Data Architecture panel from the Knowledge Graph Conference, moderated by Juan Sequeda. Listen and learn from Teresa Tung Chief Technologist of Accenture's Cloud First group , Zhamak Dehghani director of emerging technologies at Thoughtworks and founder of Data Mesh concept, and Jay Yu, Distinguished Architect at Intuit. You can watch the panel here and follow Juan's takeaways.

Modern companies have audacious goals and initiatives to become data-driven, but many still suffer a disconnect. Despite increased investment, expanded commitment and more tools at their disposal, how can companies translate gathering tons of data into becoming a data-driven business? In this episode, Zhamak Dehghani, Director of Emerging Technologies, North America explains how Data Mesh brings people closer to data and insights.

Mesh is everywhere. It’s in our clothes, our fishing nets, our Wifi networks, and now our data architecture. But what is a data mesh? Do you need one? And if so, how do you start? Zhamak Dehghani is the director of Emerging Technologies at Thoughtworks and the leading expert on data mesh. We’ll chat about the emergence of the data mesh as a concept, why the approach works for eliminating architectural silos, and how it's producing more data-driven cultures. Other topics include: Key tools, technologies, and skills for adopting a data mesh What to do if you’re data mesh curious Inspiring architectural designs outside the data space

ThoughtWorks' Director of Next Tech Incubation Zhamak Dehghani joins us for a round on Cocktails and talks about how she founded Data Mesh and the concepts behind it. She expounds on the decentralization and productization of data and discusses the importance of the discovery of new paradigm shifts in the industry.

Barry O’Reilly and this week’s guest, Zhamak Dehghani met 10 years ago when they worked together at ThoughtWorks. Zhamak is currently the Director of Emerging Technologies at ThoughtWorks and the creator of Data Mesh, which Barry describes as “one of the most exciting paradigm shifts in how we manage data at scale.” He and Zhamak discuss why traditional data architecture models are failing and how applying product thinking principles to data management is a way to harvest the data’s full potential. “This show,” Barry remarks, “is for those who are curious to understand how to bring the convergence of product thinking, data management, and distributed systems development together to create platforms and products of the future.” Early Values Zhamak has always believed in distribution of responsibility and decentralization of ownership. She finds that these design principles are more compatible with real life. Colleagues taught her the Unix philosophy early in her career which now forms the basis of her data management approach. “They taught me those wonderful ideas to build systems and programs that do one thing and one thing really well. But most importantly they work together really well,” Zhamak says. “‘Simple is beautiful and beauty is the truth’... Reduce systems to their simple principles; then together can emerge complex behaviors.” She saw an opportunity to bring the UNIX principles to data. Challenging Assumptions It often takes someone new to a system to point out obvious flaws to long-time practitioners. Zhamak says that when she came into the world of big data, she was agnostic to the accepted assumptions, so she felt free to challenge them and conceive a different paradigm. For some reason when it comes to data, people eschew UNIX principles and see it as something to be centralized. Unsurprisingly, a data lake becomes monolithic and departments become siloed. Reimagining the world of data requires a new language, she points out: “The moment you need to imagine something different you need to use a very different language.” Instead of seeing data as an asset - which you want to hoard and get more of - Zhamak advocates that data can be seen as a product which should be used to serve internal and external customers. Barry adds that the idea of the single source of golden data makes companies unable to move as they get bigger. Move to Product Thinking Barry comments that the shift towards product thinking started with Amazon. Their monolithic database was preventing them from scaling. “They realized that they needed to create these smaller, more autonomous units that had the capabilities to build things just like product teams. This is where this notion started to emerge from changing the organizational design... both technically and just how teams would work together,” Barry says. In this new way of working, teams could experiment and own outcomes. They could make small, quick changes and see the effects.   What is Data Mesh? Instead of trying to fit data into a mold, Zhamak feels that its dynamism should be embraced. “Create an architecture and ownership of data that starts with the assumption that data can be useful and shareable and trustworthy right at the point of origin; and then allow for different domains and different aggregations, different projections to get created as a mesh picture,” she posits. She explains how this new view of data impacts ways of working and the type of platform a company would create. The four principles of the Data Mesh philosophy are, “domain ownership of the data; data as a product; self serve data platform to enable autonomous teams; and a federated computational governance to balance the interoperability of a decentralized world with the trust and security built-in.” Read the rest of the show notes on BarryO'Reilly.com Resources Zhamak Dehghani on LinkedIn | Twitter Data Monolith to Data Mesh article Data Mesh Principles article

In this episode we are going to talk about a trending topic in Data Analytics - Data Mesh This movement started a couple of years ago with a blog post from Zhamak Dehghani where she describes in detail what and why to implement a Data Mesh, what to watch for, etc. Felipe and Mike are going to talk about our experience in the subject and what to think about when starting this discussion. Also the differences between what we described before in a Data Lakehouse/Data Lake. Hope you enjoy!

When it comes to cloud, you may find that for some applications — ones you intend to maintain over a long period of time — you have to account for the possibility of changing providers in the future. Some vendors promise to make that a seamless transition — but in so doing, you might be losing out on some of the rich functionality that the cloud providers can offer. Our regular podcast host, Zhamak Dehghani talks to ThoughtWorks Australia’s Head of Technology, Scott Shaw about the cost of multi-cloud portability and explores how businesses can calculate the risks and rewards of multi-cloud.

In this podcast, Daniel Bryant sat down with Zhamak Dehghani, principal consultant, member of technical advisory board, and portfolio director at ThoughtWorks. Topics discussed included: the motivations for becoming a data-driven organization; the challenges of adapting legacy data platforms and ETL jobs; and how to design and build the next generation of data platforms using ideas from domain-driven design and product thinking, and modern platform principles such as self-service workflows. Why listen to this podcast: - Becoming a data-driven organization remains one of the top strategic goals of many organizations. Being able to rapidly run experiments and efficiently analyse the resulting data can provide a competitive advantage. - There are several “architecture failure modes” within existing enterprise data platforms. They are centralized and monolithic. The composition of data pipelines are often highly-coupled, meaning that a change to the data format will require a cascade of changes throughout the pipeline. And finally, the ownership of data platforms is often siloed and hyper-specialized. - The next generation of enterprise data platform architecture requires a paradigm shift towards ubiquitous data with a distributed data mesh. Instead of flowing the data from domains into a centrally owned data lake or platform, domains need to host and serve their domain datasets in an easily consumable way. - Domain data teams must apply product thinking to the datasets that they provide; considering their data assets as their products, and the rest of the organization's data scientists, ML and data engineers as their customers. The key to building the data infrastructure as a platform is (a) to not include any domain specific concepts or business logic, keeping it domain agnostic, and (b) make sure the platform hides all the underlying complexity and provides the data infrastructure components in a self-service manner.

For any large, multinational enterprise, there’s a dilemma at the heart of their software architecture. Centralization promises to save costs, providing a standardized template for how to do things and not waste effort reinventing the wheel. But local markets have unique characteristics, whether that’s customer behavior, regulations or the competitive landscape. In this episode, our co-hosts Alexey Boas and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Sriram Narayan, an advisory consultant for ThoughtWorks India. Together, they explore the price of reuse: the challenges and trade offs for architects that arise from a centralized blueprint for IT.

Traditional, centralized approaches to infrastructure management risk creating organizational friction and bottlenecks for dev teams. By defining a standardized tech stack, you immediately make it harder to satisfy your teams’ diverse needs. A self-serve approach can enable teams to tailor infrastructure to their particular needs. But how can you deliver a self-serve infrastructure without paving the way for chaos and ensure the appropriate guardrails are in place? In this episode, our regular co-hosts Neal Ford and Mike Mason are joined by Evan Bottcher, Head of Technology, ThoughtWorks Australia and Zhamak Dehghani, Technology Principal, ThoughtWorks North America, to explore how to benefit from self-service options.

Everyone knows the adage: move fast and break things. But there are a few fields of endeavour where it is quite so apt as the world of drones. In this episode, our co-hosts Neal Ford and Zhamak Dehghani talk to data scientist, Emily Gorcenski and head of product innovation, Jeremy Abbett, both from ThoughtWorks Germany about their project to build intelligent, autonomous drones. Together they explore the ramifications of writing code in a new, constrained hardware environment, and where faulty code can have huge project ramifications. And yes, there have been a few breakages. 

Over the years, there have been numerous approaches to data management: from data warehouses and data marts to data lakes — collating data in a central place. Today, we see many failure modes when it comes to building big data platforms, with organizations stuck in building data architectures such as data lakes that never deliver business value. In our latest episode, we explore the ideas of data meshes, an alternative approach to serve and surface data organizationally. Our regular co-hosts Mike Mason and Neal Ford talk to Ken Collier, Head of Data Science and Engineering at ThoughtWorks, and Zhamak Dehghani, one of our regular co-hosts and also a Principal Consultant, with a focus on distributed systems architecture.

The technology choices that businesses make are fast becoming key factors in creating great products and great customer experiences. But who should be responsible for those choices: the CIO or the CTO. Our regular co-hosts Zhamak Dehghani and Mike Mason are joined by ThoughtWorks’ very own CTO (and erstwhile podcast host) Rebecca Parsons and principal consultant, Marcelo de Santis, who has previously been both a CIO and CTO at large multinational companies. Together they explore how modern businesses can get the technology leadership they need.

Who wouldn’t want to empower individuals and teams to solve problems as they encounter them? It’s a natural instinct for many developer-led organizations. But as phenomena like Shadow IT or skunkworks have shown, there can be a downside: a lack of coordination over what gets tackled and maintaining solutions over the long term. In this episode, our co-hosts, Rebecca Parsons and Zhamak Dehghani, are joined by Andy Yates, Head of Strategy at ThoughtWorks TechOps, to explore the idea of the Citizen Developer. They look at ways of supporting problem-solving go-getters, while giving them the tools to ensure their efforts are aligned to business needs.

The current trend in data management is to centralize the responsibilities of storing and curating the organization's information to a data engineering team. This organizational pattern is reinforced by the architectural pattern of data lakes as a solution for managing storage and access. In this episode Zhamak Dehghani shares an alternative approach in the form of a data mesh. Rather than connecting all of your data flows to one destination, empower your individual business units to create data products that can be consumed by other teams. This was an interesting exploration of a different way to think about the relationship between how your data is produced, how it is used, and how to build a technical platform that supports the organizational needs of your business.

The shift from legacy to digital infrastructure is central to many companies’ strategy to compete in a fast-changing world. But at the architectural level, such change can be hard — or at least expensive — to effect. Not everyone wants to break things when they move fast. In this episode, our hosts, Zhamak Dehghani and Mike Mason are joined by Ryan Murray, Director of Digital Platforms at ThoughtWorks, to consider how organizations can transform themselves through a deeper understanding of their systems, the information and their business capabilities — and the interrelation between these things.

At ThoughtWorks, we’ve long been wary of the use of multiple cloud providers for the sake of it. We think there’s a significant upside in using the best provider for particular use cases. But in some regulated environments, organizations are forced to adopt a multicloud approach for highly critical workloads. In this episode, our regular co-hosts, Mike Mason and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Scott Shaw, Head of Technology for ThoughtWorks Australia and James Lewis, Principal Consultant, ThoughtWorks UK. They explore the challenges of delivering an effective multicloud solution and how to assess the criticality and sensitivity of workloads.

Microservices and containers have kick started a revolution in enterprise architectures — and in the developer experience. In this episode, our host Zhamak Dehghani is joined by Sheroy Maker, head of technology at ThoughtWorks Products, look at how these changes have impacted the ideas of continuous delivery. They explore the challenges such as how to maintain the integrity of complex distributed systems and how to manage deployments of disparate technology stacks.   Learn more about ThoughtWorks at thoughtworks.com

Platform thinking promises to give your business more bang for its technology investment buck, by putting your business priorities at the heart of your approach to delivery. But embracing platform thinking has profound implications for your technical architecture landscape. Join our co-hosts Alexey Bôas and Zhamak Dehghani as they hear from Renan Martins and Luiz Ribeiro, both of whom are Lead Consultants based out of ThoughtWorks Brazil. They take an in-depth look at the practical realities of introducing platforms into organizations with legacy infrastructure and well-established development teams.

The concepts of governance can sometimes conjure up images of groups whose only task is to say no to the rest of the organization. But it needn’t be that way. Our co-hosts, Rebecca Parsons and Mike Mason are joined by Jonny LeRoy, Head of Technology for ThoughtWorks North America and Zhamak Dehghani — also one of our regular co-hosts, but here for her expertise in distributed systems architecture. Together they’re exploring new ways of thinking about architectural governance that help the business and IT.

We’re increasingly seeing a trend of organizations exposing events — particularly business domain events — before knowing who the consumers are or what the specific applications are, in the hope that people elsewhere in the organization can discover these events and create value, without us directly orchestrating it. But creating big upfront architectures can make developers nervous — not least about costs. Neal Ford and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Erik Dörnenburg, Head of Technology at ThoughtWorks Germany, and Evan Bottcher, Technology Lead in ThoughtWorks Australia.   https://www.thoughtworks.com/podcasts

Serverless has become the buzzword du jour. But what does it mean? What are the implications for your enterprise applications when you’re using services where you’re not responsible for the infrastructure that they run on? How do AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and GCP Cloud Functions fit in To explore these issues, our co-hosts Mike Mason and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Paula Paul, a Tech Principal at ThoughtWorks and Mike Roberts, an external cloud engineering consultant and former ThoughtWorker.

Microservices has emerged as an important architectural choice for the enterprise. But the ecosystem to support microservices is still being built. In this episode, co-hosts Zhamak Dehghani and Mike Mason are joined by James Lewis — author of one of the seminal articles on microservices — and Lakshminarasimhan Sudarshan, both Principal Consultants at Thoughtworks. They explore the state of microservices today, the pitfalls and anti-patterns (like distributed monolith) we see emerging and how microservices is being used successfully.   thoughtworks.com/podcasts

RESTful APIs quickly established themselves as useful architectural style for replatforming legacy systems with web-based ones. But increasingly, developers are running into the boundaries of deploying REST and API purity — confronting real world issues such as the rapid evolution of APIs for frontend layers where connectivity is patchy and where APIs should meet the changing visual representation and behavior of the frontend, where we increasingly see the adoption of alternatives such as GraphQL.   In this episode, co-hosts Mike Mason and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Brandon Byars, Market Technical Principal at ThoughtWorks North America and James Gregory, Tech Lead at ThoughtWorks Australia to explore the current state of API design and look at the impact of event-based architectures.

Martin Fowler chats about the work he’s done over the last couple of years on the rewrite of the original Refactorings book. He discusses how this thought process has changed and how that’s affected the new edition of the book. In addition to discussing Refactors, Martin and Wes discuss his thoughts on evolutionary architecture, team structures, and how the idea of refactors can be applied in larger architecture contexts. Why listen to this podcast: - Refactoring is the idea of trying to identify the sequence of small steps that allows you to make a big change. That core idea hasn’t changed. - Several new refactorings in the book deal with the idea of transforming data structures into other data structures, Combine Functions into Transform for example. - Several of the refactorings were removed or not added to the book in favor of adding them to a web edition of the book. - A lot of the early refactorings are like cleaning the dirt off the glass of a window. You just need them to be able to see where the hell you are and then you can start looking at the broader ones. - Refactorings can be applied broadly to architecture evolution. Two recent posts How to break a Monolith into Microservices, by Zhamak Dehghani, and How to extract a data-rich service from a monolith by Praful Todkar on MartinFowler.com deal with this specifically. - Evolutionary architecture is a broad principle that architecture is constantly changing. While related to Microservices, it’s not Microservices by another name. You could evolve towards or away from Microservices for example.
