    How's that a WTF? The architect was rewarded and promoted, and Azure got a bigger check, which I (as a former Microsoftian) wholeheartedly welcome.

    Just not necessarily for YOUR better :)

    A group of ex-colleagues got together and the concensus was that the original system, scaled to 3x peak load, 20 years later, would be fit to cope with 2.75x peak load. The cost and size of the architecture today is orders of magnitude greater. We've gained all the downsides of a distributed architecture. Not sure if the business has gained anything. Most techies have gained great CVs though

    Agree, how is that a WTF? Only 75% more spend, What kind of figures of related spend for managing what % of turnover on what total company turnover?

    No write up on any points that improved nor direct soundbite from the lead designer. Just one sided whinging to probably a little biased.

    Maybe it was 50k a month cloud spend, now it's 87k5 a month, on a 100 employee business, managing 95% of the total 35mil turnover? That would not be a WTF manuvre.

    Not to mention everyone who worked on the project got a few more bullet points for their résumé which is about to come in handy.

All i'm saying is that the problemm is scalibg which is od highly spiky nature on memory front. But quite tepeatwble on bi weekly basist. And that evertyhig we need is to store the memory per minute per day for a month. And instead od using auto scaler use the scaler api to scale the servers. Up front

    It seems the senior architect Alvin has found this article and added his perspective. :)

    According to the vid "Don't build a Distributed Monolith: How to avoid doing microservices completely wrong", having the (relevant) admin data replicated across all databases that use it is the way it's supposed to go... but certainly not by manually updating all of them for each change.

    You're supposed to propagate the changes through an event bus, or I guess automatic replication at the database level can work too, as long as you keep in mind that updates are not supposed to be instant.

    Oh, and microservices actually calling each other is a big no-no.
