Designing for consumption
Modern web and mobile applications have read/write ratios that are far different than when many of the underlying technologies and architectural patterns were first developed. Seth Dobbs demonstrates architecting data partitioning and flow control to enable our highly consumption-oriented world.

Traditional approaches to data design are rooted in the pre-web days when interaction patterns were fundamentally different than they are today. Many web service designs follow on that thinking and when combined can provide limitations to modern web and mobile consumer-facing applications. Specifically, many applications today experience vastly different read/write patterns with a much heavier emphasis on read. As architects, we need to examine these underlying assumptions and determine if they actually apply to the systems we’re designing or if there is a mismatch with consumer behavior that will cause limitations. Seth Dobbs demonstrates architecting data partitioning and flow control to enable our highly consumption-oriented world, diving into three key areas of consideration when designing a modern system:
