Yes, but a path of heartache if the interfaces between systems aren't robust. Say W sends a message to Y but doesn't record the message was sent Y or wait for any sort of ack (say a process that drops a flat file to an FTP server

The version of this that continually bites me is when someone is designing what is essentially a distributed system but doesn't know that's what they are designing. System W -> System X -> System Y -> System Z are connect

[Note: I'm enrolled in the MCS program at UIUC which makes extensive use of Coursera. Not a big fan of Coursera and most of the content for the courses is available through other avenues.] They have two paths they can follow: 1) "

One story that comes to mind is the difficulty of change management. It’s possible to configure Aloha locally but beyond a certain number of locations a configuration tool called Configuration Center is used. It basically stores configurati

Often the cloud sell is less a sale of “the cloud” and more modern development and configuration practices such as being able to do a reliable auto update. I’ve had a lot of vendors sell hosted solutions with the premise that since they wil
