Software Engineering Five questions we can answer. (And so can any quality software engineering group.)  What software architecture is more productive? MVC II? Struts? Spring framework? Flash+WS? MQ-based? N-Tier? …  Why is Struts (or portlets) appropriate for reporting systems but a flawed choice for operational systems?  What is the throughput and latency for web apps, web services, and message queues?  What are the tradeoffs for investing $800k in WebSphere (WebLogic) versus leveraging Apache or Tomcat?  When is a $750k investment in Oracle preferred to investing in SQLServer or leveraging PostgreSQL?
