    Platform Governance Limitation


      Article Summary

      We are introducing platform governance to define upper limit values to compel citizen developers to build applications in an optimized manner by adhering to these limits, which are derived based on historical data, implementations using best-practices vs bad implementations, observations from poor performance applications, high throughput (I/O), and more.

      The following are a few advantages of this cap:

      • Citizens are now obligated to develop applications / solutions in the best possible design while adhering to the upper limit to fulfill the business use-case.
      • Because the CD produces optimal designed solutions, it reduces compute overload and improves speed.
      • Citizen Developers are obligated to break down processes into smaller and more scalable components, such as micro applications (best practice), rather than building a monolith (Not a best-practice).
      SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
      Applying upper limits is a practice in any technology, considering it’s underlaying resources. For example, if we refer to Oracle Database, it has it’s own defined upper limits on various aspects to enforce the developers to adhere and construct within the limits.
