From Guide to Tool: the Way to Break the Design Governance of Complex Giant System

With the trend of cloud computing becoming the infrastructure of digital society, the management operating system derived from cloud has become more and more complex. From simple system to simple giant system and then to complex giant system, designers are facing more and more challenges. The result of the development of the Internet must be the diversity of product forms, the complexity of processes and the segmentation of scenarios. This is true in the field of cloud computing and consumer services. In this context, how to manage experience has become an increasingly prominent issue.

Xconsole (Alibaba cloud's systematic management and control product design solution) was born in the complex environment and detailed process of Alibaba cloud, so his first mission is to use systematic thinking to determine the future form of Alibaba cloud's management and control products, meet the current and future product growth of Alibaba cloud, and reasonably manage and control complex products.

In the practice of xconsole, we have gradually accumulated a set of experience governance methods, including xconsole's core design guidelines and design standards and measurement methods derived from the guidelines, which together constitute the xconsole core. In the next growth process, xconsole has evolved horizontally into an aggregation platform for Alibaba cloud's management and control services, and vertically expanded to a best practice gathering place covering vertical services such as elastic computing and network.

At this time, xconsole has completed the evolution from bone to muscle, but the vision of xconsole is more than that. We hope it can become a comprehensive solution for designers, developers, products and operators. This vision determines that xconsole will take a more intelligent road. Xbuild, an intelligent design tool born out of xconsole, carries our mission of "using algorithms to drive product innovation and make future enterprise product design simpler". In this sharing, this mysterious tool will be displayed for the first time.

To sum up, xconsole has completed the evolution road from guide to tool, which has been "walked" by our designers, engineers and product managers over the years“ There is no road on the ground. If there are more people walking, it will become a road. "I hope you who have heard of sharing can become our fellow travelers.
