Delighted to be part of this conversation on cell-based architecture. As the author of the cell-based reference architecture https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/reference-architecture-cell-based.md https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/r..., I'm here to share insights on this exciting approach.
Cell-based architecture introduces modular 'cells' into software systems, each with distinct APIs. This design fosters loose coupling and scalability – key for today's dynamic software landscape. Particularly, for those intrigued by microservices, cells align seamlessly with the independent, scalable components that power microservices architectures.
Curious to dive deeper? If you're keen to explore the nitty-gritty technicalities, I invite you to check out the architecture paper https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/reference-architecture-cell-based.md https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/r... for an in-depth understanding. Let's kick-start this dialogue on the potential of cell-based architecture and its impact on modern software design. Feel free to join the conversation!
- DandyDev 3y agoThis seems written by AI? And as such it comes across as not genuine
- dikei 3y agoIt's from WSO2, a company selling enterprise middleware. Of course, the paper would read like something you bring to a sales meeting, not a tech talk.
- asankama 3y agoInteresting feedback, I'll see how I can address this perception of a 'sales pitch' during the next revision. The intention was to define a vendor and technology-neutral reference architecture to the community.
- asankama 3y agoNo, it is not written by AI :). You can look at the Reference Implementations section of the spec to find who is using the spec https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/reference-architecture-cell-based.md#reference-implementations https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/r...
- HumanOstrich 3y agoI'm familiar with the cell architecture promoted by the WSO2 papers (and other resources). I like it and I've used it in client projects. However, this article uses "cell" in a completely different way. It is not the cell-based architecture that you are promoting here without reading the article.
- asankama 3y agoIn the CBA paper, a 'Cell' is an architecture construct you can use in the design stage and take through the development and then to the deployment. So, it addresses both application and deployment architecture. Each cell has a boundary, a cell gateway, and components inside the cell.
- HumanOstrich 3y agoThanks for the follow-up and I apologize for my snark. It appears my knowledge was out-of-date and I stand corrected. I'll need to brush up on the current docs and research.
- asankama 3y agoNo problem, it's my pleasure.
