Commentary
- American Express Blog on Cell based Architecture for payment processing
- This feels one of those articles where its quite hard to understand the details. It like doing a high level design interview but just completed after the basic diagram, no edge case discussion no schema or examples.
- I am not saying this is not resourceful. Its a great piece of information, maybe not for my level of understanding. Maybe its too high level or just enough to give someone a hint about designing a broader system.
- I like some points though, which require some digesting“for mission-critical systems like payments, we find that the benefits of a reduced blast radius and improved resiliency outweigh the additional complexity”
- This is so true, the trade off is there and rightly so, the payment processing comes over in priority over the complexity.
