Software architecture
Software is not finished at the demo
A system is ready when someone who was not in the original room can deploy it, see what it is doing, and recover it.
Notes on engineering, cloud, AI and operations
Short pieces on software architecture, cloud, DevOps, AI in production and technology strategy.
Cloud engineering
Cloud that operations can live with
A migration only counts if the resulting estate is easier to run, cheaper to change, and clearer when it fails.
AI
Getting AI into production
The gap between a promising model and a trustworthy workflow is integration, evaluation, security and cost.
Technology strategy
Strategy needs engineers early
A technology plan that cannot name the systems, the coupling and the operating model is still a wish list.
