Design for Continuous Evolution
42:09
Summary
Eric Brewer explores continuous evolution, which is the ability to add features easily to a running service and is key to high velocity in development, focusing on immutability to decouple specification from instantiation. Similarly, declarative techniques enable automation, and specialization of APIs enables better support for classes of tasks, including those that are stateless.
