Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Sunday, September 7, 2008 CustomerDevelopment Engineering Yesterday, I had the opportunity to guest lecture again in Steve Blank s entrepreneurship class at the Berkeley-Columbia executive MBA program. Its a nice complement on the product engineering side to his customerdevelopment methodology.
Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Monday, February 16, 2009 Continuousdeployment with downloads One of my goals in writing posts about topics like continuousdeployment is the hope that people will take those ideas and apply them to new situations - and then share what they learn with the rest of us. Thanks for the comments.
Outside the world of hypothetical examples, its more important to make continual progress than to build the ultimate design. For example, at a previous virtual world company , we spent years developing an architecture to cope with millions of simultaneous users. That’s what Just-in-time Scalability is all about.
If youre trying to design an architecture to maximize agility, how can that work if some people are working in TDD and others not? That means knowing whats written and whats not, what the architecture can and cant support, and how long it would take to build something new. Thats more than just drawing architecture diagrams, though.
It seems your cluster architecture is one of the key architectural constraints making continuousdeployment possible. If you cant deploy to 5% of the nodes and check the results, then how would you accomplish continuousdeployment? Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
It’s important to invest in good architecture so that your website will scale once customers arrive. If you make that investment, and then customers arrive, and the site stays up, most companies will reward the people who built the architecture and, thus, prevented the scaling problems.
I suggested that we change the underlying architecture of our UI system so that the artists would be able to build their own UI pieces themselves and then integrate them into the product without requiring new code every time. The Entrepreneur’s Guide to CustomerDevelopment ▼ June (3) What is a startup?
Eric, Is this post about Architecture? I define Architecture (capital A) as "the advocacy for human values in a process" (not little a architecture, over-arching structural approach, just design-in-the-large). The Entrepreneur’s Guide to CustomerDevelopment ► June (3) What is a startup?
Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Sunday, January 4, 2009 Sharding for startups The most important aspect of a scalable web architecture is data partitioning. So far, this is just a summary of what all of us who have attempted to build web-scale architectures considers obvious. Customer data is normally partitioned according to customer id.

But it goes beyond that, including techniques for improving the economics of product development. Reinertsen weaves together ideas from lean manufacturing, maneuver warfare, queuing theory, and even the architecture of computer operating systems and the Internet. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
I know them right away - we can talk high-level architecture all the way down to the bits-and-bytes of his system. When the architecture needs modifying - why do we need a meeting? Building a good application architecture is not just coding. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n. Just change it.
And as Kapor himself points out, the core ideas have even older origins: The Roman architecture critic Vitruvius advanced the notion that well-designed buildings were those which exhibited firmness, commodity, and delight. CustomerDevelopment is itself an example of SBCE. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
We wanted an agile approach that would allow us to build our software architecture as we needed it, without downtime, but also without large amounts of up-front cost. After all, the worst kind of waste in software development is code to support a use case that never materializes. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
I started my last company with 100% off-shore resources because I could never have completed CustomerDevelopment at a reasonable cost of money or regulatory burden had I employed US Citizens. The Entrepreneur’s Guide to CustomerDevelopment ► June (3) What is a startup?

Even though some aspects of the product were eventually vindicated as good ones, the underlying architecture suffered from hard-to-change assumptions. Without conscious process design, product development teams turn lines of code written into momentum in a certain direction. Even a great architecture becomes inflexible.
The engineering team has decided its reached a breaking point, and is taking several weeks to bring it up to modern standards, including unit tests, getting started with continuous integration , and a new MVC architecture. On the other, they already have a team fully engaged on making their product architecture better.
