- Service
per Team - Each team is responsible for one or more business
functions (e.g. business capabilities). A team owns a code base
consisting of one or more modules. Its code base is sized so as to not
exceed the cognitive capacity of team. The team deploys its code as one
or more services. A team should have exactly one service unless there is
a proven need to have multiple services.
- Start with
Team Cognitive Load - Team Topologies
:small_red_triangle:YT - DOES19 London. The “monoliths vs
microservices” debate often focuses on technological aspects, ignoring
strategy and team dynamics. Instead of technology, smart-thinking
organizations are beginning with team cognitive load as the guiding
principle for modern software. In this talk, we explain how and why,
illustrated by real case studies.
