The key mechanism to tackle ever increasing complexity is abstraction, such as frameworks or interfaces. Some things, however, can’t be abstracted away.| The Architect Elevator
Architects dive deep to come back up with new insights. Here’s is what I brought back from the serverless cloud integration engine room.| The Architect Elevator
Check the map, and then go have a look for yourself.| The Architect Elevator
If architecture is timeless, so should be the books about it. Here's a book list with some classics.| The Architect Elevator
Dissecting a buzzword takes more than a single blog post. Here’s the start of a new blog series.| The Architect Elevator
Modern architects look beyond UML and design patterns to transform IT by connecting the strategy ‘penthouse’ with the technology ‘engine room’. They ride the Architect Elevator.| The Architect Elevator

Reuse per boxes and lines is great if you have no operational needs…| The Architect Elevator
When progress removes major constraints, it’s time to recalibrate your heuristics.| The Architect Elevator
Shiny, advanced, a strong fan following, but lack of mainstream adoption—the trademarks of a halo product. Sounds like AWS Lambda?| The Architect Elevator
Or: why do IT architects seem have more fun?| The Architect Elevator
Yes, you can make money writing books. But never do it for that.| The Architect Elevator
Cultural lessons from a racing movie.| The Architect Elevator
Abstractions can become illusions. Is Serverless one of them?| The Architect Elevator
Today’s cloud automation goes far beyond provisioning servers. Let’s apply architecture models to the latest trends.| The Architect Elevator
Cloud automation isn’t just about infrastructure anymore. This also affects automation language design.| The Architect Elevator
Domain-driven design very much applies to technical domains. Let’s try it on event-driven cloud systems to see why I am such a big fan of object-oriented automation languages.| The Architect Elevator
As the complexity of our platforms increases, we keep looking for better abstractions. Cloud compilers might help, but only if they include one key feature: the stack trace| The Architect Elevator
Whether architects must code or not has been much debated. Why not try debugging?| The Architect Elevator
Cloud automation using object-oriented languages gives us the power of abstraction. But those abstractions aren’t easy to come by.| The Architect Elevator
Design patterns have helped us improve software design for decades. In the cloud, they can also reduce our switching cost. That’s magic!| The Architect Elevator
No-code, low-code has become a popular quest. Architects are called in to separate fact from fiction. No French were harmed.| The Architect Elevator
How to architect your organization to do architecture with or without architects.| The Architect Elevator
