Consider larger services than a typical microservice. For the same reason monoliths tend to split when the organization grows, it is often more manageable to have a small number of services per team (ideally 1, or less). It's ok if a s

The 30% fee only applies to digital goods, not physical ones. It's part of why there's all the awkward hoops that the main amazon app goes through when you run into digital goods, but everything else is mostly sane

Also: there were multiple ebook readers on the store at the time that were already selling books in-app. Several stopped development, others removed their in-app store. I suspect we (Kindle) we're either the trigger for the in-app purc

Yeah, it was supremely frustrating for us. The original store experience was fully native, and still a far better experience than what the app has today :(

Apple did the same thing to Kindle for iPhone back when it launched. We submitted the original version to Apple with a fully functioning store built into it—and were then stuck in submission limbo. Two weeks later, Apple announces their in

I think they've done a pretty good job of codifying their values via the slides at the bottom of the first article: https://www.slideshare.net/AmyCowpe/high-performance-behavio...

Yeah, I'd also add that it is a huge help in ramping up new devs when understanding your schema.

An alternative architecture (following the BFF idea): * Non-GraphQL services (speaking REST, gRPC, whatever) * GraphQL gateways, owned by frontend teams/applications. E.g. each frontend team/application owns its own schema owned b

I would concur. The BFF pattern works really well with GraphQL. I think 'One Graph' makes sense if that's how you model your data under the covers (e.g. Facebook's graph store)—but if you're in a service-laden world

Google's promotion process biases very heavily towards "impact". The problem is that maintaining existing projects generally isn't considered to be a demonstration of impact (or at least, it's a MUCH harder case to

At our company we've implicitly split the technical ladder at the principal level into "broad" principals (this article), and "deep" principal (expert at their field). We're struggling to formally define it, th

Senior levels often have pretty wide bands, partially due to this. If you're moving to an organization that hires as senior, you'll almost certainly be able to negotiate your comp pretty far up

Though I am a principal that tracks very closely to what this article describes, I think eng organizations need both "broad" and "deep" principal technical roles. E.g. at that level, the road forks three ways: deep prin
