Excited to release SystemsArchitect.io, a new site for solutions architects and systems architects.
This site aims to be a resource for solutions architects and systems architects to learn about the latest technologies and best practices.
At some point I hope the site will also be a place to share ideas and collaborate with other solutions architects and systems architects.
I'm excited to see where this site goes and I hope you'll join me on the journey!
What is a Systems Architect or Solutions Architect?
On this site, we use the title interchangeably.
A Systems Architect or Solutions Architect helps the project team make decisions about the technology that will be used to build a solution.
The architect is a technology professional who is responsible for designing, building, and managing the overall technical architecture of a solution.
We work with a variety of stakeholders at various levels in the company, including business executives, product managers, developers, and operations teams, to define the technical requirements for a solution and ensure that it aligns with the overall business strategy.
We have aspire to a deep understanding of a wide range of technologies. We're there for organizations make informed decisions about which technologies to use and how to integrate them into their solutions.
Architects are responsible for ensuring that the solution is designed for optimal performance, availability, and scalability.
The broad range of technologies and process for achieving this is quite a massive undertaking!
The site was built ot help with that. It's here to help you learn about best practices and to provide a framework to make decisions.
Also it's a reference for technology comparisons and details.
Thanks for checking it out and keep learning!
