Foreword for Second Edition
Architecting for Scale is a comprehensive book for managers who realize that all companies have shifted away from simply calling themselves “digital businesses” and instead now recognize that if they don’t actually operate as one, they will go out of business. Banking, insurance, and other industries that used to have huge moats are being disrupted by upstart companies that deliver amazing experiences because they operate like a digital business rather than merely talking about being a digital business.
Architecting for Scale is a definitive guide for directors, managers, and architects who want an actionable roadmap on operating at scale with high reliability, implementing modern operational principles (DevOps, site reliability engineering), as well as how to use current state of the art concepts and services (microservices, cloud, edge).
I had the pleasure of working with Lee at New Relic, which enables companies to monitor their digital business across the globe. While at New Relic, Lee traveled around the world, helping companies navigate digital transformation, accelerate ideas into production, and deliver services that were up 100% of the time.
Time and time again, I have seen Lee leapfrog companies’ transformation progress in a single thirty-minute meeting. Enjoy the book! It will be impactful to your company and your career!
