Yes, but adoption will pick-up in next 1 or 2 years.

What I'm hearing from people is that their mindset is actually around decentralized, not distributed — they're saying distributed because they think that they're one and the same. I've yet to see that partitioning between decentralized and distributed architecture. I am seeing it coming from the other direction amongst the decentralized companies that are trying to build these distributed architectures, whether it's coming from the crypto side or the NFT side, or from those using remote-only models. Those companies are doing SaaS provisioning for most of their stuff anyway, other than the code that they're actually writing or what we need for those applications.

There's a company that's doing some work on the basis of crypto and NFTs. They want to bring up nodes very quickly and they're doing API calls to get it all done, which is a dangerous way of doing it. The API is only as good as the dependencies. Unless you're completely containerized, how can you not have dependencies in your API? You're dependent on the code that was provided for you to be able to write the API too, and you have no control over those dependencies and no guarantee that they're going to be 100% clean.

I am looking for insights on establishing an Architecture Review Board (ARB) within our organization. As we aim to enhance our architectural governance and ensure alignment with our strategic objectives, we recognize the importance of setting up an effective ARB. To this end, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the following aspects:       1. Establishing a Charter: What key elements should be included in the ARB        charter to clearly define its purpose, scope, and authority?       2. Member Selection: What criteria should we consider when selecting members for the ARB to ensure a diverse and knowledgeable board?       3. Review Process: Could you share best practices for structuring the review process to ensure thorough and consistent evaluations of architectural proposals?       4. Decision-Making: What are effective methods for making decisions within the ARB, and how can we ensure transparency and accountability?       5. Documentation and Communication: What templates or tools would you recommend for documenting reviews and communicating decisions to stakeholders?      6. Measuring Success: How can we establish criteria for measuring the success and impact of the ARB on our architectural practices? Your expertise and experience in this area would be invaluable to us as we embark on this initiative. Any additional insights or resources you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
