In a complex system, surprising coupling between unrelated components is clearly the best thing to have and what every software architect should aim for.

Thinking about attending #QConLondon at the end of March. Any insights from previous attendees, is it worth it?

I'm mainly interested in software and infrastructure architecture and everything about #DevOps. From its website, those topics should be well covered, but who knows 😎

Speaker discusses a few architectural patterns ranging from distributed #monoliths, #microservices, and "vertical slice" SOA .. but (independently?) arrives at #microfrontends.

The crux of the talk is that independent services driven by message streams are a good thing. Which I agree with. But the conclusion, assembling the UI from published backend event streams, seemingly turning the presentation to a "data registry" with device shims is .. novel. #softwarearchitecure

#SoftwareArchitecure question:
Can the world's apps run without the #cloud?

E.g. #torrent instead of #cdn
Tailscale, all that jazz

Do you see a way to help #SelfHost more?

I currently think #search and #databases are the big holdouts (besides big data, which I'm fine with not subsidizing) - it's hard to do those without scale...

How would you make the world more #distributed (without scam mining)
