2. A big ball of mud is a software system that lacks a
perceivable architecture. Although undesirable
from a software engineering point of view, such
systems are common in practice due to business
pressures, developer turnover and code entropy.

• No coupling, but
dynamic; simplifies
deployment
• High Performance
• Highly Scalable
• Test-Env is expensive
and time consuming
• Caching, In-Memory
grids etc. makes
Dev’s life complex

address Scalability, Maintainability and
Portability
With a clear separation of Roles and Responsibilities

8. I. Codebase
One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
II. Dependencies
Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
III. Config
Store config in the environment
IV. Backing Services
Treat backing services as attached resources
V. Build, release, run
Strictly separate build and run stages
VI. Processes
Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
VII. Port Binding
Export services via port binding
VIII.Concurrency
Scale out via the process model
IX. Disposability
Robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
X. Dev/prod parity
Keep dev, staging and prod as similar as possible
XI. Logs
Treat logs as event streams
XII. Admin processes
Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes

Summary

The landscape of web-based application development is constantly changing and no change in the last 15 years has been more significant than the advent of so called cloud computing.
Today, we must build systems that are globally available, leveraging limited human capital resources, and doing so in a way that is maintainable all the while, getting to market first.
This massive demand on software engineers has caused us to respond with new patterns in developing our software.
Having a right architecture style is essential for each application being developed.
In unorganized source-code, modules that lack clear roles, responsibilities, and relationships to one another.
This is commonly referred to as the big ball of mud architecture anti-pattern.
The major cause for this anti-pattern is due to – pressure on developers to start with one part at a time and come with incremental micro requirements instead of clear or holistic description of the problem statement.
Because processing units (deployed instances of the application) can be brought up and down quickly, applications respond well to changes related to an increase or decrease in user load (environment changes).
Although space-based architectures are generally not decoupled and distributed, they are dynamic, and sophisticated cloud-based tools allow for applications to easily be “pushed” out to servers, simplifying deployment.
Achieving very high user loads in a test environment is both expensive and time consuming, making it difficult to test the scalability aspects of the application
High performance is achieved through the in-memory data access and caching mechanisms build into this pattern
High scalability come from the fact that there is little or no dependency on a centralized database, therefore essentially removing this limiting bottleneck from the scalability equation.
Sophisticated caching and in-memory data grid products make this pattern relatively complex to develop, mostly because of the lack of familiarity with the tools and products used to create this type of architecture
Use PaaS
Your company has the need, resources, and time to build software, but you don’t want to mess with all the nuances of building servers, networks, and managing databases. PaaS will store your information alongside other users, but security features like encryption and containerization will keep your data separate and secure.
This is designed for the beginning web app developer, as well as the most seasoned ones.
It's designed to be completely language agnostic, and it's designed for someone who wants to learn.
So as such, the only requirements that you have is the ability to write web application software, and want to learn new cloud computing technologies.
Heroku CI is easy to setup and use, detecting and running your tests with a minimum of configuration, while providing enough flexibility and power for the most demanding uses. Seamlessly integrated with Heroku Pipelines, it completes Heroku Flow to provide a unified solution for continuous integration/continuous delivery.
Continuous delivery features short release cycles, automation, and a direct connection to the source code repository. It's designed to enable teams to get incremental app updates to production quickly and safely. A successful CD process aligns an organization’s technology, processes, people, and culture so that deployment becomes a streamlined, automated activity. Businesses and end users benefit from faster delivery of new features and increased app quality.
Logs are aggregated from different sources
Logplex routes all of these to single channel

At Heroku, we believe that great apps come from developers using tools they love. That’s why a great developer experience has always been at the very heart of what we do. Heroku makes the processes of deploying, configuring, scaling, tuning, and managing apps as simple and straightforward as possible, so developers can focus on what’s most important: building great apps that delight and engage customers.
Heroku DX pervades Heroku. Here are three developer experience features that provide better control surfaces, deeper performance insights, easier database management, and a powerful one-click method for configuration and deployment.
Heroku’s operational experience lets you focus on what’s most important - maintaining application health and providing an optimal experience for your end users. Sit back and let the platform monitor the key indicators of app health like responsiveness and request failures, alert you proactively so you can find (and fix) issues before your users do, and effortlessly scale to meet increases in demand. We run one of the world’s largest PaaS platforms hosting millions of apps, so we understand the value of operations and know your time is valuable. That’s why we provide integrated tools to increase application visibility, diagnose issues, receive proactive notifications and remediate issues to help developers and operations staff maintain apps in a healthy state. The platform manages all downstack components freeing you to focus on application operations, not infrastructure.
