This special edition of the Full Stack Architect takes some of the sessions and discussion from our recent Operational Resilience webinar.

Operational Resilience is high on the agenda in banks today and it is a topic that all businesses need to consider in providing a consistently high performing service to their customers.

In our latest episode we cover off two big topics.

First of all we explore Data Mesh and its underlying principles that might just move us forward to the holy grail of driving real value from data.

Secondly we explore how friction can slow down major programmes and the role an architect can take in bringing kindness to reduce the level of conflict.

We look forward to your thoughts and comments.

The Cloud Event

This month we explore what David and Goliath, Unicorns, Supermarkets, Banks and Start-ups all got on common.

We begin with a retelling of David and Goliath and the lessons it can teach us about the current state of the business and technology world. 

We also have an excellent discussion on the role architecture plays in creating a future-proof and scalable platform for the exciting start-up Active Orbit.

We look forward to your comments and feedback.
