  The Reference Architecture for Agility is a technology-neutral logical architecture based on a disaggregated cloud-based model.

  

Delighted to be part of this conversation on cell-based architecture. As the author of the cell-based reference architecture https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/r..., I'm here to share insights on this exciting approach.

Cell-based architecture introduces modular 'cells' into software systems, each with distinct APIs. This design fosters loose coupling and scalability – key for today's dynamic software landscape. Particularly, for those intrigued by microservices, cells align seamlessly with the independent, scalable components that power microservices architectures.

Curious to dive deeper? If you're keen to explore the nitty-gritty technicalities, I invite you to check out the architecture paper https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/r... for an in-depth understanding. Let's kick-start this dialogue on the potential of cell-based architecture and its impact on modern software design. Feel free to join the conversation!

We had it running accross bare metal, AWS and Azure and it one of the key aspects was that it handled persistent workloads for big data, including distributed databases.

Kubernetes was just getting built when we started and was supposed to be a Mesos scheduler initially.

I assumed Kubernetes would get all the pieces in and make things easier, but I still miss the whole paradigm we had almost 10 years ago.

This is retro now :)
