In this series, I’ll present a step-by-step guide to designing a scalable cloud architecture for a multi-energy, multi-step forecasting platform. This first post focuses on applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to structure the problem space and lay the foundation for implementation. Drawing from the 2025 paper “A Multi-Energy Meta-Model Strategy for Multi-Step Ahead Energy Load Forecasting” Continue reading

Generic cloud services across architectural layers: a foundational package for cloud architectures

In designing, implementing, and governing cloud solutions, it is critical to define a baseline set of core services that must be considered in every architecture, regardless of the specific cloud platform. These foundational services ensure that essential capabilities — such as security, observability, governance, lifecycle management, and cost control — are embedded from the start. Continue reading

Risks and Mitigation Strategies in Multi-Cloud Environments

According to a talk by Teena Idnani, Senior Solution Architect from Microsoft, presented at the QCon event by InfoQ, I created a short risk assessment for the case she presented about Multi-Cloud Environments in Event-Driven Architectures for the fictional company FinBank. By examining the key points discussed, I identified the following risks: By addressing these Continue reading

Security

Protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Think of it as constructing a secure vault (CIA triad), where thick, reinforced walls and a complex lock system prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing sensitive information (protect confidentiality). To ensure integrity, authorized access is necessary, with a vigilant guard ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter and modify the contents Continue reading
