By Renato LosioDiana Montalion and Cat Morris discuss why large-scale transformations often fail, pinpointing six systemic friction points. They explain how architects can drive change by understanding organizational systems, designing knowledge flow, and architecting relationships. They argue that focusing on outcomes, managing resistance, and adopting a learning-driven mindset are critical to success.

By Daniel DominguezGoogle Spanner now features a columnar engine, allowing its distributed database to handle both OLTP and OLAP workloads on a single platform. This hybrid architecture eliminates the need for separate data warehouses and ETL pipelines. The engine's columnar storage and vectorized execution accelerate analytical queries up to 200x on live data, which is especially beneficial for AI applications.
