We're just starting out a new project and that has to be one of the hardest parts of a project. What way do we access data? How do we do localization? An endless series of questions. Today we all agreed to do a _thin_ vertical slice in our application and try to pull patterns we like/want out of that slice. We know we'll miss some cross-cutting concerns we'll need, but we have to start somewhere and we figured that producing something in iteration 1 was better than a bunch of "architecture" that might miss the mark. Wish us luck. :-) Man, you hit the nail on the head. We’re just starting out a new project and that has to be one of the hardest parts of a project. What way do we access data?

Know what your end user needs and don't use tiering unless the project calls for it. Many shopping carts will live happily as an asp.net website and a database. If there's no driving reason for it, don't add complexity. Unless of course, you just have money and time to burn. Then by all means, go ahead. :-) I agree, and let me just add that there’s no such thing as “the correct way of implementing a shopping cart”.

"Pragmatic" is the word which really encapsulates my post, because without pragmatism you're not going to meet your deadlines.

Like the pragmatic guys say, KISS - "Keep it simple stupid" Excellent advice.
