The Enterprise applications of the future.

I had the privilege to attend JAZOON software development conference in Zurich. I heard a lot of buzzwords and  jargon there about the new technologies of the software development. from the group of seminars and keynotes there I generated a picture about the perfect Enterprise application in the future. In this article I try to paint this picture.

• Multicore support.
• Actor design pattern.
• Using 2 or more databases one of which is an RDBMS for ACID and Transaction processing and the other is NOSQL for storing BigData and events.

• Distributed
  • Using ESB (Enterprise Service Bus)  for Asynchronous messaging among its distributed components.
  • Using Map-Reduce model for distributing processing.
  •  Maybe involving Hadoop or similar frameworks.

• Has a simplified scripting language or what is known as a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for End-Users to be able to customize the application without the need for further developer’s involvement.
• Using Event-Sourcing as mechanism to log changes and transactions based on a frozen snapshot.
• It is probably coded with Scala for maximum  utilization of concurrency.
• The Web-interface utilizes a boiler-plate framework for cross-client support PC, mobile and tablet.
• Javascript is still the client side choice of web applications.

Of course, if you are working in Telecom , then you must have seen these technologies slip into the operations department years ago !
