Helping organizations accelerate software delivery

I provide consulting and training services that help organizations improve their architecture and accelerate software delivery.


I can, for example, review your microservice architecture and identify areas of improvement, or teach a workshop on how to design a microservice architecture.


I also can teach a 1 day workshop Microservices rules: what good looks like that can help you decide whether microservices are a good fit for your application.


Another option, is my Architecting for fast, sustainable flow workshop that will teach you how to architect for fast flow including how to choose between the monolith and microservice architectures.

STOP hurting yourself by doing big bang modernizations!

I recently had yet another conversation that described how the rollout of a ‘Next generation’ system was a long painful process. Users encountered all kinds of business impacting showstopper issues. It took months before the system was usable. This, of course, is hardly surprising. Any time you engage in a big bang modernization effort, you are taking a huge risk, and the odds are not in your favor.

There's more to a microservice architecture than services

service-collaboration-patterns image

From time to time, I encounter organizations who have been struggling with their microservice architecture. Sometimes, the problem is data inconsistencies across services. An update occurs in one service, but a corresponding update doesn’t happen in a related service. It’s as the Order Service fails to notify the Fulfillment Service that the order needs to be shipped. Or, perhaps, the application has poor performance or is brittle with frequent outages. And, the developers are jumping through all kinds of hoops to fix customer problems including manually updating the database. In this article, I’ll describe one of the main reasons why these problems occur and how to prevent them.
