Complexity warning signs

  1. Declining feature velocity
  2. Frequent escalations
  3. Time-consuming debugging
  4. Excessive codebase growth
  5. Inconsistent patterns
  6. Dependencies everywhere
  7. Undifferentiated work

Lessons in Simplexity

  1. Make evolvability a requirement - Evolvability is a precondition for managing complexity
  2. Break complexity into pieces - Disaggregate into building blocks with high cohesion and well-defined APIs
  3. Align organization to architecture - Build small teams, challenge the status quo, and encourage ownership
  4. Organize into cells - In a complex system, you must reduce the scope of impact
  5. Design predictable systems - Reduce the impact of uncertainty
  6. Automate complexity - Automate everything that does not require high judgment

Building evolvable systems

  1. Modeled on business concepts
  2. Hidden internal details
  3. Fine-grained interfaces
  4. Smart endpoints
  5. Decentralized
  6. Independently deployable
  7. Automated
  8. Cloud-native design principles
  9. Isolate failures
  10. Highly observable
  11. Multiple paradigms
