Architecture at the Start: Preparing for Success

October 22, 2024 · Podlodka Techlead Crew

A Podlodka Techlead Crew discussion with Alexander Polomodov, Oleg Bondar, and Philipp Delgyado on building the architectural foundation early: reliability, retries, self-healing, and application resilience to failures.

Participants

  • Alexander Polomodov
  • Oleg Bondar
  • Philipp Delgyado

Discussion focus

  1. 01Which architectural decisions matter at the very start of a project?
  2. 02How can teams avoid overengineering while leaving room for growth?
  3. 03Where do retries, timeouts, and circuit breakers help, and where do they create new risks?
  4. 04What does system self-healing mean in practice?
  5. 05How should applications be designed to survive partial failures?
  6. 06Which engineering practices help keep architectural control after launch?
