Tools

Our IT books club has started reading new book - about Software Engineering at Google - processes, culture, and tools that help Google create and maintain high-quality software. First chapter is about Software Engineering in general:

• What is Software Engineering vs Software Development/Programming?
• Three principles Google consider:
  • Time and Change
  • Scale and Growth
  • Trade-offs and Costs
• How these three principles are applied to Software Engineering and how it is different from Software Development/Programming

Interesting opening chapter of the book:

Quite often the tooling is a forgotten area during the beginning of development. This chapter overlooks the tooling that can help build and maintain event-driven microservices. Useful checklist! This topic includes:

• Org rules
• Documentation, tagging
• Quotas
• Schema registry
• Offset management
• ACL
• State management and app reset
• Consumer offset lag monitoring
• Container Management Controls
• Cluster Creation and Management
• Dependency Tracking

All of these is disclosed in the Chapter 14 of the book:
