How to simplify your software architecture | Big Ideas In App Architecture

Description

Modernizing database infrastructure can solve more than just data problems. It can also simplify your software architecture and the way your engineering organization works. In this episode, David sits down with technical evangelist, Rob Reid from Cockroach Labs, to discuss the importance of architectural simplification through proven patterns, real-world examples, and practical use cases. Join as we discuss: - The benefits of simplifying your data architecture - Why you should think of regulations as part of your architecture - How in some cases, running a database across three data centers can be cheaper than two - What to know about selecting the right database for your use case How to simplify your software architecture | Big Ideas In App Architecture 00:00 Introduction 00:53 How did Rob become a Technical Evangelist? 04:20 How long has Rob been in tech? 07:35 What is architectural simplification? 10:33 What is the disaster recovery mindset? 15:30 Why should you simplify your software architecture? 23:42 How architectural simplification can lead to organizational simplification 26:40 Where can you learn about architectural simplification? 28:54 How this can impact anyone (even non CockroachDB users) 30:09 What did Rob learn from this project? 35:52 How does this factor into TCO? 40:38 How does Rob keep up with tech trends?
