Top architectural styles
In software development, architecture plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and behavior of software systems. It provides a blueprint for system design, detailing how components interact with each other to deliver specific functionality. They also offer solutions to common problems, saving time and effort and leading to more robust and maintainable systems.
However, with the vast array of architectural styles and patterns available, it can take time to discern which approach best suits a particular project or system. Aims to shed light on these concepts, helping you make informed decisions in your architectural endeavors.
To help you navigate the vast landscape of architectural styles and patterns, there is a cheat sheet that encapsulates all. This cheat sheet is a handy reference guide that you can use to quickly recall the main characteristics of each architectural style and pattern.Firewall explained to Kids… and Adults
A firewall is a network security system that controls and filters network traffic, acting as a watchman between a private network and the public Internet.
They come in two broad categories:
Software-based: installed on individual devices for protection
Hardware-based: stand-alone devices that safeguard an entire network.
Firewalls have several types, each designed for specific security needs:
1. Packet Filtering Firewalls: Examines packets of data, accepting or rejecting based on source, destination, or protocols.
2. Circuit-level Gateways: Monitors TCP handshake between packets to determine session legitimacy.
3. Application-level Gateways (Proxy Firewalls): Filters incoming traffic between your network and traffic source, offering a protective shield against untrusted networks.
4. Stateful Inspection Firewalls: Tracks active connections to determine which packets to allow, analyzing in the context of their place in a data stream.
5. Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs): Advanced firewalls that integrate traditional methods with functionalities like intrusion prevention systems, deep packet analysis, and application awareness.

Paradigm Shift: How Developer to Tester Ratio Changed From 1:1 to 100:1
This post is inspired by the article "The Paradigm Shifts with Different Dev:Test Ratios" by Carlos Arguelles. I highly recommend that you read the original article here.
1:1 ratio (~1997)
Software used to be burned onto physical CDs and delivered to customers. The development process was waterfall-style, builds were certified, and versions were released roughly every three years.
If you had a bug, that bug would live forever. It wasn’t until years later that companies added the ability for software to ping the internet for updates and automatically install them.
10:1 ratio (~2009)
Around 2009, the release-to-production speed increased significantly. Patches could be installed within weeks, and the agile movement, along with iteration-driven development, changed the development process.
For example, at Amazon, the web services are mainly developed and tested by the developers. They are also responsible for dealing with production issues, and testing resources are stretched thin (10:1 ratio).
100:1 ratio (~2020)
Around 2015, big tech companies like Google and Microsoft removed SDET or SETI titles, and Amazon slowed down the hiring of SDETs.
But how is this going to work for big tech in terms of testing?
Firstly, the testing aspect of the software has shifted towards highly scalable, standardized testing tools. These tools have been widely adopted by developers for building their own automated tests.
Secondly, testing knowledge is disseminated through education and consulting.
Together, these factors have facilitated a smooth transition to the 100:1 testing ratio we see today.

Helping Black brands make progress in the beauty industry
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• To sell or not to sell. Many owners of small beauty businesses dream about being bought up by a larger company, but achieving that dream has become somewhat of a mixed blessing in the world of Black beauty products. Customers worry that if a brand is no longer Black-owned, the product formulas may change and not work as well, or become more expensive. But for small businesses, which often struggle to meet demand, being able to access the infrastructure of a larger company can help scale production faster and increase visibility. [Harper’s Bazaar]
• Looking for Black beauty brands. The first beauty brand marketed and designed exclusively for Black women hit shelves in 1973 and was revamped in 2019. The intervening years have brought an increase in products specifically for women of color, but supply doesn’t meet demand. McKinsey senior partner Tiffany Burns and colleagues note that beauty products designed for Black consumers account for, at most, 7% of the brands available in stores. Part of the disconnect stems from entrepreneurs’ lack of access to capital and a strong business network, since Black people are still underrepresented within the beauty industry.
• Building up Black brands. As part of our ten actions for racial equality that emerged in 2020, McKinsey has dedicated research to find the best ways to help Black beauty brands by tackling barriers on both the retail and the entrepreneurial side. McKinsey’s work with the nonprofit Fifteen Percent Pledge, which urges retailers to dedicate 15% of shelf space to Black-owned brands, was focused on making sure the organization had pledges from the right mix of retailers so Black brands will show up in a variety of stores. Learn how McKinsey is helping to boost Black beauty brands.

In this issue, we’re diving into the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web - HTTP.
What is Hypertext?
HTTP, or HyperText Transfer Protocol, owes its name to ‘hypertext’.
So, what exactly is hypertext?
Imagine a blend of text, images, and videos that are stitched together by the magic of hyperlinks. These links serve as portals that allow us to jump from one set of hypertext to another. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a prime example of hypertext.
HTML is a plain text file. It’s packed with many tags that define links to images, videos, and more. After the browser interprets these tags, it transforms the seemingly ordinary text file into a webpage filled with text and images.
HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3
HTTP has undergone significant transformations since its inception in 1989 with version 0.9. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see the problems each version of HTTP addresses. The diagram below shows the key improvements.
HTTP/1.0 was finalized and formally documented in 1996. This version had a key limitation: each request to the same server required a separate TCP connection.
HTTP/1.1 arrived next in 1997. It introduced the concept of a ‘persistent connection’, which means a TCP connection could be left open for reuse. Despite this enhancement, HTTP/1.1 couldn’t fix the issue of ‘Head-of-Line’ (HOL) blocking. In simple terms, HOL blocking happens when all parallel request slots in a browser are filled, forcing subsequent requests to wait until previous ones are complete.
HTTP/2.0, published in 2015, sought to tackle the HOL blocking issue. It implemented ‘request multiplexing’, a strategy to eliminate HOL blocking at the application layer. As illustrated in the diagram below, HTTP/2.0 introduced the concept of HTTP ‘streams’. This abstraction allows the multiplexing of different HTTP exchanges onto the same TCP connection, freeing us from the need to send each stream in order. However, HOL blocking could still occur at the transport (TCP) layer.
HTTP/3.0 made its debut with a draft published in 2020. Positioned as the successor to HTTP/2.0, it replaces TCP with QUIC as the underlying transport protocol. This effectively eliminates HOL blocking at the transport layer. QUIC is based on UDP. It introduces streams as first-class citizens at the transport layer. QUIC streams share the same QUIC connection, requiring no additional handshakes or slow starts to create new ones. QUIC streams are delivered independently. It means that in most cases packet loss in one stream doesn't impact others.
HTTP Headers
HTTP headers play a crucial role in how clients and servers send and receive data. They provide a structured way for these entities to communicate important metadata about the request or response. This metadata can contain various information like the type of data being sent, its length, how it's compressed, and more.
An HTTP header consists of several fields, each with a specific role and meaning. Now that we have an understanding of what HTTP headers are, let's dive deeper into some specific HTTP fields.
HTTP Fields
When we send HTTP requests to a server, several common fields play a critical role. Let’s dissect some of them.
Host: This is the domain name of the server.
Content-Length: This field in the request or response header plays a crucial role in data transfer. It specifically indicates the size of the body of the request or response in bytes. This helps the receiver understand when the current message ends and potentially prepare for the next one, especially in cases where multiple HTTP messages are being sent over the same connection.
Connection: This field is crucial in HTTP persistent connections, where a single TCP connection is used to send and receive multiple HTTP requests and responses. We will discuss this in more detail.
Content-type: This field tells the client the format of the data it’s receiving.
Content-encoding: This field indicates the compression format used for the data. For example, if the client sees ‘gzip’ encoding, it knows it needs to decompress the data.
HTTP GET vs HTTP POST
HTTP protocols define various methods or ‘verbs’ to perform different actions on web resources. The commonly used ones are GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, which are often used to read, create, update, and delete resources. Less common methods include HEAD, CONNECT, OPTIONS, TRACE, and PATCH, which we covered in our previous “API Design” issues.
One common interview question is: “What is the difference between GET and POST?” Let’s dive into their definitions.
HTTP GET: This method retrieves resources from the server via URLs without producing any other effect. As GET requests usually lack a payload body, they enable bookmarking, sharing, and caching of web pages.
HTTP POST: This method interacts with resources based on the payload body. The interaction varies depending on the resource type. For example, if we’re leaving a comment after purchasing an iPhone 14, clicking “submit” sends a POST request to the server with the comment in the message body. While there's no defined limit to the size of the message body in a POST request by the HTTP protocol itself, in practice, browsers and servers often impose their own limits.
Understanding the Characteristics of GET and POST
HTTP methods have certain properties that define how they interact with server resources. Two such properties are whether they're 'non-mutating' and 'idempotent.'
A non-mutating method doesn't alter any server resources. On the other hand, an idempotent method produces the same result, regardless of how many times it's repeated.
HTTP GET: The GET method retrieves data without causing changes, making it non-mutating. Additionally, repeating a GET request won't change the outcome, making it idempotent.
HTTP POST: Unlike GET, the POST method sends data that can modify server resources, making it potentially mutating. Furthermore, if we repeat a POST request, it can create additional resources, making it non-idempotent.
However, it's important to note that actual behavior can depend on how the server implements these methods. While the standards suggest certain behaviors, developers sometimes use these methods in non-standard ways. For instance, a GET method might be used to delete data (making it both mutating and non-idempotent), or a POST method may be used to retrieve data (making it non-mutating and potentially idempotent).
One infamous example of non-standard usage involved a blogger who implemented post deletion operations with HTTP GET, assuming no one would visit the blog. But when Google crawled the blog, all posts were deleted!
It's also essential to remember that when it comes to security and preventing information leaks, neither GET nor POST is inherently secure. GET parameters are visible in the URL, while POST bodies, though not visible in the URL, can still be intercepted if not encrypted. To ensure secure data transmission, the use of HTTPS is advised, a topic we will discuss in more detail later.
HTTP Keep-Alive vs TCP keepalive
We’ve discussed how HTTP can initiate a persistent connection using “Connection: Keep-Alive”. Recall that in the issue about TCP, we’ve also mentioned TCP’s keepalive mechanism. Are they the same? No, they’re quite different:
HTTP Keep-Alive, linked to HTTP persistent connections, operates at the application layer.
TCP keepalive, working at the transport layer, keeps a TCP connection alive during periods of data exchange inactivity.
Let’s dive deeper.
HTTP Keep-Alive
HTTP, except for HTTP/3, is built on TCP. Establishing an HTTP connection requires a 3-way TCP handshake. After sending an HTTP request and receiving a response, the TCP connection disconnects.
Sending multiple requests to the same server this way is quite inefficient. Wouldn’t it be better to reuse the same TCP connection? That’s the purpose of HTTP Keep-Alive. It maintains the TCP connection until either party requests disconnection.
HTTP/1.1 enables HTTP Keep-Alive by default.
HTTP Keep-Alive reduces the overhead of opening and closing TCP connections. It's even more powerful when combined with HTTP/2, which introduces the concept of “streams”.
Streams allow us to send multiple requests simultaneously without waiting for server responses. More importantly, these requests and responses can be handled out of order, which is not possible with only HTTP Keep-Alive.
The comparison diagram below shows the difference between HTTP Keep-Alive and HTTP/2 streams. Normally, we wait for the first response before sending a second request. With HTTP/2 streams, we can send multiple requests simultaneously without waiting for the first response, and the server can respond out of order.
Why is this important? This feature is crucial to avoid head-of-line (HOL) blocking. In earlier versions of HTTP, if the server takes a long time to process one request, subsequent requests have to wait, leading to delays. But with HTTP/2 streams, each request is independent. Even if a server takes longer to process one request, it can still respond to other requests. Responses can come back as soon as they're ready, even if that means they're not in the original request order.
TCP keepalive
TCP keepalive is unrelated to HTTP Keep-Alive. In a TCP connection, both parties remain in the ESTABLISHED state until one ends it. If one party disconnects without notifying the other, the remaining party wouldn’t know about it. TCP keepalive addresses this by periodically sending probes when there’s no data exchange. We discussed this in our previous TCP issue. The following diagram should serve as a refresher.

Recalibrate your marketing strategy in an uncertain economy
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Needing a human touch. Nearly one-quarter of the $88 billion per year that US brands spend on digital ad placements is wasted, according to a new report from the Association of National Advertisers. Optimizing for the lowest cost per click can lead to ads appearing on low-quality, made-for-advertising websites that don’t see much human traffic. Instead, the report urges marketers to prioritize higher-quality media buys and to monitor which domains display ads during a campaign. [WSJ]
• Think before you cut. Rather than bluntly slashing marketing budgets, taking a strategic approach to marketing spend could deliver both cost savings and growth, even when times are tough. McKinsey senior partner Kelsey Robinson and colleagues recommend that CMOs eliminate wasteful spending and redirect funds to areas that will deliver more long-term ROI. Thinking like an investor could potentially save companies 10 to 20% on inefficient marketing efforts and boost growth by 5 to 10%.
• What’s in your tech stack? Many organizations aren’t making full use of the automated creative or analytics solutions they’ve already invested in. CMOs should develop a thorough understanding of their current marketing tech tools and remove internal barriers that prevent implementation and continued usage. Read the full article for more ways to recalibrate your marketing strategy and create value in times of uncertainty.

Reinventing retail: A new playbook for retail leaders
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The retail industry has experienced as much disruption in the past five years as it has in the previous 25. The demands and behaviors of consumers, suppliers, employees, and investors have rapidly evolved—and this calls for a radical rethinking of long-held beliefs and practices, or a retail reset, say McKinsey’s Steven Begley, Becca Coggins, Dymfke Kuijpers, and Franck Laizet and their coauthors. In a new article from McKinsey Quarterly, they discuss the forces shaking up the industry and suggest the focus areas that should be at the top of the retail C-suite agenda, including owning the consumer relationship, setting a vision for a retail ecosystem, and more. See what’s needed to reinvent retail.

Middle managers are vital to organizational health and performance. How can you best support them?
On Point

• A dearth of diversity. Many corporate DEI pledges that came out of the racial unrest of 2020 have not translated into meaningful gains for women and people of color, a 2023 study finds. An analysis of roughly 800 US public firms by researchers from Columbia Business School and the London Business School found that women comprise 39% of the workforce of those companies, whereas minorities constitute 36%. Among middle managers, only 6% are Hispanic and 4% are Black. Organizations become more racially homogenous at higher levels, the research also found. [Fortune]
• The power of the middle. Organizations with top-performing managers yield stronger shareholder returns than those that don’t, research by McKinsey partner Emily Field and colleagues reveals. But far from being the relationship builders they want to be, middle managers spend much of their time bogged down with administrative tasks. Only 20% of those surveyed strongly agree that their organizations help them to become better people managers, even though strong managers can reduce attrition, support talent acquisition, and bolster employee well-being and psychological safety.
• Charting a (middle) course to success. Successful middle managers aren’t just nice to have; they are key contributors to both organizational health and financial performance. As such, organizations have an immense opportunity to invest in these vital roles. Leaders can, for instance, reset manager roles to remove unnecessary bureaucracy, investing in technologies to help automate tasks and reduce meetings so that managers can focus their energies on developing others. Consider five actions leaders can take to help their middle managers (and organizations) succeed.
