Hi friends 🤗
Today I would like to share three posts with you:
Hire people who give a shit
How a 19-year-old boy built a $7B business
The Cloud Architecture of the Next 10 Years
Hire people who give a shit
This is a very inspiring post by Alexandr Wang, CEO of Scale AI, about how to hire people for success. I love Wang’s vision and totally agree with a lot of what he has shared in this post.
Although he’s only 24-year-old, he started his career many years ago as a software engineer, and he’s proving that he is an example of a great leader.
I’ve discovered him a year ago, and after reading a bunch of articles and watching some videos about him, I ended up writing one of my most successful pieces about his story: How a 19-Year-Old Boy Built a $7B+ Business
The Cloud Architecture of the Next 10 Years
“I was once on a team where we couldn’t spin up a new test environment –let alone a local one– because it required pulling together hundreds of microservices, coordinating deployments, and dividing what configurations should be set without the benefit of knowing each system. But in a monolithic architecture, you’re an F5 press away.
Everything is an evaluation of existing tradeoffs.
Microservices make it easy to have fault isolation, independent deployments, custom per-service environments, and modular code, as well as team boundaries.
Monoliths make it easier to be productive, deploy and test features, trace errors, and create an integrated developer experience.
Startups and companies continuously attempt to superglue in new systems to solve old problems. We all used to boast about the number of services we wrote and operated, only to realize that thousands of microservices mean thousands of puzzle pieces used in different, disconnected ways.
This is a tradeoff we’ve made as a community to gain the flexibility and benefits of microservices.
‘A new architecture must maintain all the previous architecture’s benefits while reducing the complexity of gaining them.’”
-- That was an extract from "The Cloud Architecture of the Next 10 Years" by Ala Shiban, where he presents Klotho as the next cloud computing architecture that comes after monoliths, microservices, and serverless.
Have a nice day!
