Applied Duality

After being stuck for > 40 years in a first-order flat model of rigid tabular data locked up in a closed world.

In the distributed and world of the Cloud, they are forced by physics to compose reliable applications from loosely coupled and often unreliable pieces (services, data sources, …) that run, and fail, and operate at their own pace in their own space. Such heterogeneous applications have to process many variations of data, at a wide range of volumes and with different velocities.
