I guess I should really call this a parable. The backdrop is: you have been brought in to grow a tiny data team (~4 people) at a mid-stage startup (~$10M annual revenue), although this story could take place at many different types of companies.

Integrating the necessary security controls and audit capabilities to satisfy compliance requirements within a DevOps culture can capitalize on CI/CD pipeline automation, but presents unique challenges as an organization scales. Understanding the second order implications and unintended consequences caused by the chosen implementation is key to building an effective, secure, and scalable solution.

Here's a theory I have about cloud vendors (AWS, Azure, GCP): Cloud vendors 1 will increasingly focus on the lowest layers in the stack: basically leasing capacity in their data centers through an API. Other pure-software providers will build all the stuff on top of it. Databases, running code, you name it. We currently have cloud vendors that offer end-to-end solutions from the developer experience down to the hardware: What if cloud vendors focus on the lowest layer, and other (pure software)

Like many modern software architects, Andrew Harmel-Law struggles with the need to scale architectural thinking to larger organizations while allowing teams to be as autonomous as possible. The approach he's currently using is the "Advice Process", that encourages and supports these teams to be engaged in broader architectural decision making. In this first installment , Andrew describes this advice process, later installments will dig into four supporting elements that help make it work.

Years ago, Americans spent most of their disposable income on food but consistent investment in retail infrastructure has changed that. Now, they only spend 6% of their household income on food and beverages. Africa still battles with this and it is not hard to see why. The continent’s retail markets are highly fragmented and mostly made up of small and informal retailers and intermediaries, which is why a ton of tomatoes that costs around $100 in the U.S., for instance, costs about $400 in Ken

Want to empower your team? Find opportunities in the chaos. During times of uncertainty and change, it’s easy for your team to get lost in the chaotic swirl of indecision —to wring their hands and wait and see. It’s also the perfect time to empower your team, to step up and take the lead. “Where there is chaos, seize control.” One of my early bosses and mentors, Gail, said this to me almost daily during a turbulent time at Verizon.

“Build versus buy” decisions are everywhere today, and rightly so. Building software is risky and expensive, and software product companies can spread that risk and expense across multiple customers. But my colleague Brandon Byars argues that the kinds of tools that are available to buy for systems integration are not products that directly solve a business problem.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Leadership growth requires feedback and continual learning. It’s no exaggeration to say that if you’re done learning, you’re done leading. The world changes. People grow. And your influence will grow too if you invest in your leadership growth. But that growth is a choice – and one that not every leader will make. I recently spoke with a senior executive who surprised me with her vehemence.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Good technical design decisions are very dependent on context. Teams that regularly work together on common goals are able to communicate regularly and negotiate changes quickly. These teams exhibit a strong force of alignment, and can make technology and design decisions that harness that strong force. As we zoom out in a larger organisation an increasingly weak force exists between teams and divisions that work independently and have less frequent collaboration.
