This week’s questions
Rob Eisenberg asked:
It seems that every project I walk into has the exact same architecture, regardless of what the company is building. It’s that standard 3-tier pattern: data-business-presentation. But, there are other large-scale architectural patterns available. I’d love to hear some case studies that pair business problems with the rationale for choosing an “alternative architecture.”
And since it’s not just about knowing the right approach but also being able to convince others, I included Rvonwink’s question too:
Some of us see the genuine benefits of pub/sub, EDA and SOA design. However, how do you go about persuading the cynics, time pressed and uninformed:
Our developers hate debugging pub/sub models; Others love the ‘simplicity’ of monolithic domains; Our DBA questions why messaging is required (since “the bus simply persists messages elsewhere”); Our sys admins hate deploying new applications or changing the deployment topology; Our boss is scared to tell the business there is a little extra work to start splitting apart services.
Next week
Currently the top questions for next week are:
- Composite UI, Business Components and Deployment
- How to handle predetermined technology choices
- How do you manage NULL pointer exception in general?
What would you like to hear? Let me know.
Until next week…
