Presented by Sushmitha Anantha and Fabrizio Di Cola
Industry technology landscape is ever evolving. Yesterday’s state of the art technologies has become normal today and will become obsolete tomorrow. The pace of change is too fast and to stay relevant, every industry should reinvent themselves time and again from all aspects including technology.
One of the major challenges faced by Architects is to always push for most efficient and most economical models when they solution new systems or when they upgrade the existing systems. Architects often wonder about economic impact of choosing one solution over another. Many times, it becomes necessary to propose an architectural change to meet certain non-functional requirements.
Is there a way to assess the impact of different possible architectural approaches from a pragmatic perspective?
In this presentation, we shall try to approach this problem from SNAP perspective. The idea is to evaluate how different architectures perform when SNAP is applied, by taking few examples. This method helps in evaluating two are more different solution approaches and choosing the most suitable one not only from point of view of functions but also of the cost.
