🐦🌅🌙 Did you know that whether you're a morning person or a night owl is actually genetic?
It's because of how early humans survived.
Half of the population guarded at dawn, the other at dusk.
Never understood why morning alarm felt unnatural😀

Final TIPs of the day:
- BI on top of source DB is big NO
- 100% real time data synchronicity is not worth it
- Shared common DB is stupid
- If shared data needed, data replication is OK
- Better than big bang rollout, feature flag release and saga pattern your worst case

No brainer but 90% of customers:
- Check their balances and statements in banking
- Check their bills and statements in telco
- Check product descriptions in ecom
TLDR:
Banking, Telco and ecom dont need fancy UX, give customers simple spreadsheet and they will be happy🤯

Customer journey driven microservices🤯
- Are DB agnostic
- Have own DB for storing most actual snapshot
- Replicate data snapshots to entity mapped data backends
- Can lead to inconsistency risk due to async nature

Data mapped entity based microservices are an antipattern
Think of it more like business feature driven microservices instead
Steucture teams around customer journeys instead and you are set for life👍

Which org structure is best?
There is no clear answer, but judging by degree of innovation and product quality, Apple and Amazon has it figured out.
Apple revolves around visionary individual with layer of line managers
Similarly Amazon revolves around many mini visionaries…
