Observeability, reliability, scalability - really easy to bolt on once you are successful.
There's a middle ground, and a DBA turned SRE turned Architect is probably ok with compromises, those are all roles where "it depends" is a bylaw.
- falcolas 7y agoSo, they really aren't that easy to bolt on, if not considered from the beginning. Monoliths, for example, are a real PITA to make reliable and scalable. Worse, once your company is successful, there will be an endless list of features to add to your product, meaning nobody has the time to "bolt those features on". How the product begins, is how the product often lives on well past it's expected lifespan.

- aeyes 7y agoHow is scalability easy to bolt on? Most companies end up rewriting their entires stack, multiple times.
- AndrewKemendo 7y agoThose are absolutely not easy to bolt on.
