What's New in Workato - February 2020

Hey David!
We have been busy in 2020 with some exciting updates. Read on to learn about updates to UI/UX to increase your productivity, effortless data replication for Snowflake, and full visibility into your billable recipe usage.

Listen to Scott and Raina talk about the highlights of the product updates in 2020. This is the first of many exciting updates we will share with you through rest of the year.

The enhanced Snowflake connector adjusts to schema changes automatically.Plus,it effortlessly replicates data from Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, Jira, Marketo, and other SaaS apps.

A lot of our customers are taking advantage of the radical recipe based pricing announced last year.We have added a new section in your Workspace to view all purchased add-ons and recipe packages; track the current and historical recipe usage trends, so you can plan and optimize usage.

Our product principles have been about making UI/UX simple to create efficiency and speed. We are continually making updates to remove the extra click, the extra decision, and the extra second you have to spend when designing, deploying or operating recipes. We just launched the first of many exciting upcoming changes to the Recipe Editor.

We're introducing the new "Download Large File" action for SFTP, which allows you to download large files of any size and move them to another destination. There is no limit on the size of files you can download, eliminating the extra work of breaking them into smaller files.

For the month of February, we asked our team what they love about Workato. Here's what they said! (And share what you love about Workato in the comments here.)

Word of the Day: Conway's law

Conway's law

Conway's law is an observation that the design of any system is significantly affected by the communications structure of the organization that develops it.

Melvin Conway, a computer scientist and programmer, developed his theory as the basis for a paper, "How do committees invent?" Conway submitted his paper in 1967 to the Harvard Business Review, but HBR rejected the paper on the grounds that Conway had not proved his thesis.

The Harvard Business School subsequently conducted a study, "Exploring the Duality between Product and Organizational Architectures," to attempt to prove Conway's thesis. Researchers compared the codebases of multiple applications of the same type that had been created by loosely-coupled development teams and tightly-coupled teams.

They found that the tightly-coupled teams tended to develop tightly-coupled, monolithic codebases while the loosely-coupled open source teams tended to create more modular, decomposed codebases. It has been observed, similarly, that if multiple teams are working on program modules and inter-team communication is poor, the interfaces of the program will reflect that fact.

Conway's law is often mentioned in reference to DevOps, which focuses on effective communication and collaboration among development and operations teams. Continue reading...

Today's Takeaway

 

"What Conway is saying is that if you have a four-person software team creating a compiler, you'll get a four-pass compiler as a result. Complex systems mimic the organizations that produce them and mirror the way in which people interact in your company." - Mark Benson

Today's Buzzwords

meme
There's a popular meme floating around the DevOps landscape and it's called Conway's law.

Yammer
Once Yammer was introduced to Conway's law, they realized they had to rebuild their organizational structure.
