Day 3 of Software Architecture 2012 & Basic Principles of an Object

By


Day 3 of Software Architect 2012 from London has passed. Today was a great day for science also. I went at 3 sessions sustained by Allen Holub. This man is not only a great speaker, but also knows the programing art extremely good.
Like in the other post about conferences where I participate, I will present in some words the things that I consider important.
Now we are living in a world that where OOP is everywhere. We are trying to create a model for each object from this world, but there are times when we forget base things. An object should expose a set of functionalities and not information. Sounds odd in our days, where everything is a POCO or a service, but this is how we should write our classes.
A world that is formed from POCO and services is not more than a procedural programing. In this case let’s change the name from OO to Procedural Programing. An object should be defined by what can do, what actions contain – public methods; and not by data that he contains. The content is not important; the functions that are exposed are the most important.
This is easy to say, but trust me, it is very hard to implement. For example when we have a class that want to calculate the price with VAD and deduction of a product we create a separate class for this. This calculator class will access the price property of our product. But we don’t need something like this. It is not wrong to have a method that returns the final price of the product in our product class. Yes, of course, as input parameter or in constructor we can specify an instance of an object that knows how to calculate (the final formula).
 There are lot more thing to talk about this subject. I promise that every week I will have a dedicated post related to OOP and design. Until than I will buy this book and start reading.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
