In a modern software architecture, a lot of the work will be performed by services that access other services, and each service needs its own identity and its own set of privileges. Open Source and a Culture of Sharing. Similarly, Tim Hope said that open source is critical in building an engineering culture and developing systems.

A simply managed solution encompasses more than just code or infrastructure. A great example of this is the overuse of micro-service architecture. I myself fell into this exact trap when I created a micro-service architecture. From my experience it does not. Single Purpose.

That was a really exciting journey, but the relatively short one, because quickly after an unexpected, the referral happened to me with an invitation to interview for the content delivery team at Netflix, that was just kind of getting started and to help them build the platform and to link and services for the content delivery infrastructure.

Nonetheless, I think it’s useful to share what I can about my experience in the hope that it might encourage others to seriously consider this role, especially those from backgrounds, identities, and genders poorly represented in the VP of Engineering ranks today. The whole tech industry would benefit from more perspectives in this role.

There’s also a strong debugging culture. We have a tight relationship with AWS, but we don’t throw stuff over the wall—we try very hard to understand the different aspects of our complex infrastructure.

As time passed the number of developers more than tripled, the breadth and depth of our use cases expanded, and our scale increased more than tenfold, the monolithic architecture significantly slowed down the delivery of new features. We couldn’t have done that in a top-down engineering environment.

Any significant shift in an organization’s software engineering culture has the potential to feel tectonic, and observability (o11y for short)—or more specifically, Observability Driven Development —is no different. Using markers, you can see the downstream impacts of deployments, infrastructure allocation, and even incident tracking.

The implications were clear: Perhaps in the end the open-source culture will triumph not because cooperation is morally right…. As the company outgrew its traditional cathedral-style software architecture in the early 2000’s, the leadership team felt that the growing pains could be addressed with better communication between teams.

That untruth has lived for a long time but it’s going to start running out of oxygen very quickly, though there are some hard-core engineering cultures that hang on to that mystique and worship the ability to be these grumpy know-it-alls.” That might continue to work for a few rarified geniuses, he adds.

How do you lay out architecture and things? And then the next quarter, maybe they’re making changes to their data model, or to their logging and infrastructure. What I’m saying here is I think it’s honestly, a focus on programming is becoming more important than just understanding how to be a good programmer.
