Let’s Architect! Understanding the build versus buy dilemma
Vendor lock in happens when you commit to a specific technology and then don’t have the freedom to maintain full control of your applications. Even if you want to switch to another vendor, it’s not easy because of the financial investment, effort, and time needed to do so. In the cloud computing, technology changes quickly, […]
Let’s Architect! Architecting for front end
Many workloads in the cloud need a front-end interface for interacting with APIs, either for populating content or for consuming it. This edition of Let’s Architect! shows you how to scale your front-end applications and serve data across multiple devices. Micro-frontend Architectures on AWS Micro-frontends are the technical representation of a business subdomain, they allow […]
Let’s Architect! Architecting for governance and management
As you develop next-generation cloud-native applications and modernize existing workloads by migrating to cloud, you need cloud teams that can govern centrally with policies for security, compliance, operations and spend management. In this edition of Let’s Architect!, we gather content to help software architects and tech leaders explore new ideas, case studies, and technical approaches […]
Let’s Architect! Creating resilient architecture

Open-source technology promotes collaboration across different teams, organizations, and people because the process often includes different perspectives and ideas, which typically results a stronger solution. It can be difficult to […]
Let’s Architect! Architecting microservices with containers
Microservices structure an application as a set of independently deployable services. They speed up software development and allow architects to quickly update systems to adhere to changing business requirements. According to best practices, the different services should be loosely coupled, organized around business capabilities, independently deployable, and owned by a single team. If applied correctly, […]
