Cell-Based Architecture Adoption Guidelines
The challenges in building modern, reliable, and understandable distributed systems continue to grow, and cell-based architecture is a valuable way to accept, isolate, and stay reliable in the face of failures. Organizations must ensure that the cell-based architecture is the right fit for them and that the migration will not cause more problems than it solves.

Taking Advantage of Cell-Based Architectures to Build Resilient and Fault-Tolerant Systems
Cell-based architectures offer a robust approach to building resilient systems. They achieve this through the core principles of isolation, autonomy, and replication. Each cell manages its resources and makes decisions autonomously. Observability for cell-based architecture requires a tailored approach to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by this distributed system design.

How Agile Teams Can Improve Predictability by Measuring Stability
In this article, we will present our approach for analysing agile systems as networks of queues and how we have used it to analyse 926 projects in the Public Jira Dataset. We explain how you can measure the Stability Metric (SM) for your queues. Finally, we will present our planned next phase of research.

Data-Driven Decision Making - Software Delivery Performance Indicators at Different Granularities
Optimizing a software delivery organization is not a straightforward process standardized in the software industry. Getting the organization to analyze the data and act on it is a difficult undertaking. This article presents insights into how a socio-technical framework for optimizing a software delivery organization has been set up and brought to the point of regular use.
