Simplify! - Introduction
Motivation and table of contents
When I look around, I see two evolutions that in combination worry me a lot:
(Un)coupling in distributed systems - Part 1
Architecture
Simplify! - Part 14
Layers of systems never cleaned up (part 2)
In the previous post, I discussed several relevant drivers that lead to ever-increasing complexity of the IT landscape, creating layers over layers of technology over time that never get cleaned up. As the post would have become too long otherwise, I left out the mitigation options.
Simplify! - Part 13
Layers of systems never cleaned up (part 1)
In the previous post, I discussed several drivers of accidental complexity on the implementation level and what we can do about it.
Simplify! - Part 11
Accidental complexity at an architectural level (part 2)
This post is about mitigation techniques regarding accidental complexity in the architectural level.
Simplify! - Part 10
Accidental complexity at an architectural level (part 1)
In the previous post, I discussed the technology explosion we could observe in the recent years, its drivers, how it often creates unneeded complexity, reinforcing drivers and what we can do about it.
