favorite piece of software architecture, and analyze what makes it
innovative and ideal for its purpose. Some of the engineers in this
book reveal how they developed a specific project, including the
decisions they faced and the trade offs they made, while others
take a step back to investigate the impact certain architectural
aspects have had on computing as a whole.Topics include: Facebook's
architecture as the basis for a data-centric application ecosystem;
