Chaos Engineering and Observability with Visual Metaphors

This article introduces a new actor for visualising chaos engineering and observability: metaphors. It provides the conceptual foundations of chaos engineering and observability, presents a state of art of visualisation techniques available in the market and shows how treemaps, gauge charts, geocentric and city metaphors can enrich the spectrum of the visual strategies to observe the chaos.

The Fundamental Truth behind Successful Development Practices: Software is Synthetic

Software systems are creative compounds, emergent and generative; the product of complex interactions between people and technology. They are different from the orderly, analytic worlds that our school-age selves expect to find. Being so full of complexity and uncertainty, we use a different way to arrive at a solution.
