What the authors call 'cell-based architecture' is a decentralization strategy that "has emerged as a response to many challenges associated with distributed systems." This article describes the strategy in some detail; there are definitely ways it could be applied to learning technology. "It employs the bulkhead pattern to isolate failures to a fraction of the affected infrastructure footprint and prevent widespread impact. Cells can also help organize large architectures into domain-bound deployment and delivery units, which provides essential sociotechnical benefits."
