Executive Software Architect
About me
I‘m a Computer Science graduate, working as an Executive Software Architect in the E-Commerce Division. After several stints in software development for various medium-sized companies I joined OTTO in 2009. In 2010 I developed the basics for the new otto.de webshop architecture through prototyping.

GuidoDecember 01, 2022Scaling Agile @ OTTO
Agile Development is definitely nothing new at OTTO – the term has long since reached Peak Hype. The first generation of Developers for whom 'Agile' is ancient history (or simply their regular working routine) are now almost Senior Devs. In brief, the term has lost its gloss and what we might now call 'Agile' is often a mix of Agile, Lean, XP and other working principles.Working methods- GuidoMarch 20, 2016
Why Microservices?
When we started 'Lhotse', the project to replace the old, monolithic e-commerce platform of otto.de a few years ago, we chose self-contained systems (SCS) to implement the new shop.ArchitectureDevelopment - GuidoSeptember 30, 2015
On Monoliths and Microservices
When we began the development of our new Online Shop otto.de, we chose a distributed, vertical-style architecture at an early stage of the process. Growing volumes of data, increasing loads and the need to scale the organization, all of these forced us to rethink our approach.ArchitectureDevelopment - GuidoJune 03, 2015
Von Monolithen und Microservices
Als wir 2011 mit der Neuentwicklung unseres Online-Shops otto.de starteten, wählten wir frühzeitig eine verteilte, vertikal geschnittene Architektur. Erfahrungen mit unserem Altsystem zeigten uns, dass eine monolithische Architektur den stetig wachsenden Anforderungen nicht gewachsen ist: Steigendes Datenvolumen, immer höhere Last und die Notwendigkeit, auch organisatorisch skalieren zu können, erforderten ein Umdenken.Architecture - GuidoSeptember 09, 2013
Continuous Delivery with Feature Toggles
Combined with BDD, TDD, build pipelines, non-disruptive deployments and a rollback capable application, we are well on our way towards Continuous Delivery with Feature Toggles.Development
