CS375: Software Engineering - Cloud Architectures


Activity Goals

The goals of this activity are:
  1. To facilitate software integration and scale by migrating to a cloud-based architecture

The Activity

Directions

Consider the activity models and answer the questions provided. First reflect on these questions on your own briefly, before discussing and comparing your thoughts with your group. Appoint one member of your group to discuss your findings with the class, and the rest of the group should help that member prepare their response. Answer each question individually from the activity, and compare with your group to prepare for our whole-class discussion. After class, think about the questions in the reflective prompt and respond to those individually in your notebook. Report out on areas of disagreement or items for which you and your group identified alternative approaches. Write down and report out questions you encountered along the way for group discussion.

Model 1: Case Study: The IoT Sensor Framework


Questions

  1. What are some of the limitations with a Sqlite database, given that it is a primarily file-based system?
  2. How might you migrate this to a scalabe in-memory database? What code would need to be re-written?
  3. How might you migrate this system to a cloud solution?

Submission

I encourage you to submit your answers to the questions (and ask your own questions!) using the Class Activity Questions discussion board. You may also respond to questions or comments made by others, or ask follow-up questions there. Answer any reflective prompt questions in the Reflective Journal section of your OneNote Classroom personal section. You can find the link to the class notebook on the syllabus.
