      Reliability

      Design for business requirements, resilience, recovery, and operations, while keeping it simple. Think of it as constructing a sturdy building that can withstand storms (resilience), has a clear emergency exit plan (recovery), is easy to maintain (operations), and ultimately serves its intended purpose without unnecessary complexity (simplicity).

      Mapping Azure Well-Architected Framework Pillars to Design Patterns

      If you’re working on solution development in Azure, understanding the Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) is crucial. To facilitate a deeper understanding, I have mapped the relationship between the WAF pillars and the design patterns that enhance architectural decisions. I’ve created an interactive dashboard that allows you to select a WAF pillar and view the design… Continue reading
