Patterns & DevOps
Today we build the vocabulary for talking about cloud architectures: the Well-Architected pillars, the anti-patterns to avoid, and the DevOps frame (value streams, lead time, the Three Ways) for thinking about how work flows through any technology organization.
Cloud integration is the architecture · Hybrid by accident vs by design · Security as a foundation: identity → network → audit · The reference-architecture five.
Well-Architected Framework
Six pillars to evaluate any cloud architecture — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability.
Anti-patterns
Cloud-integration failure modes — central SQL bottlenecks, sticky sessions, tangled service interfaces — and what good looks like.
Value stream & lead time
Manufacturing → technology value streams. Why long lead times are a system-design problem, not a personnel one.
The Three Ways
Flow → Feedback → Continuous experimentation. The principles underpinning DevOps as a system intervention.
