Reaching Your Automatic Testing Goals by Enhancing Your Test Architecture
If you have automatic end-to-end tests, you have test architecture, even if you’ve never given it a thought. Test architecture encompasses everything from code to more theoretical concerns like enterprise architecture, but with concrete, immediate consequences. Let's explore how you can achieve the goals you have for your automatic testing effort.

Architectural Intelligence – the Next AI
Architectural Intelligence is the ability to look beyond AI hype and identify real AI components. Determining how, where, and when to use AI elements comes down to traditional trade-off analysis. Like any technology, AI can be used creatively, but inappropriately. Identify if AI makes sense for your use case, then work to use it effectively to meet your needs.

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.

Securing Cell-Based Architecture in Modern Applications
Securing cell-based architecture is essential to fully capitalize on its benefits while minimizing risks. To achieve this, comprehensive security measures must be put in place. Organizations can start by isolating and containing cells using sandbox environments and strict access control mechanisms like role-based and attribute-based access control.

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.
