Enforcing architectural constraints within codebases can be achieved easily with static analysis tooling.
This article will demonstrate how to implement a set of architectural constraints in a Python codebase.
Continue readingA modular monolith is an architectural pattern which is seeing more and more traction at the moment. It’s not actually a particularly new concept. And like most things in software engineering, it has simply cycled back into the forefront of discussions.
This article provides some theory around the topic and an approach you might want to take when building with this architectural pattern in mind.
Continue readingEventual and strong consistency are a set of design strategies used to describe how data is persisted. They represent 2 sides of the spectrum, and they provide a unique set of benefits and drawbacks from one another.
Continue readingModern applications are complicated and there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to deliver functionality to large bases of users. In this post, I will talk through the Message-Queue pattern, the problem it tries to solve and why we would want to use it.
Continue readingModern applications experience fluctuating demands based on a variety of factors.
Scalability describes the flexibility of a system in the face of ever-changing demand.
In this article, I will unpack some of the core concepts of scalability to give us a starting point
for some of the more nitty-gritty details of scaling.
