What is Software Architecture? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. We can describe software architecture patterns and argue about what is the best software architecture, but in reality, most definitions are vague enough to be unhelpful or so over the top to be more like a list of everything that you need to think […]

The “monoliths vs microservices” debate often focuses on technological aspects, ignoring strategy and team dynamics. Instead of technology, smart-thinking organizations are beginning with team cognitive load as the guiding principle for modern software. In this talk, we explain how and why the debate of monoliths versus microservices is missing the point, illustrated by real case

Transactions are an easy technique for software developers to achieve data consistency. Changes are all committed or rollback, so your data is always aligned and other sessions see no incomplete information. But in distributed microservices environments, this cannot be achieved because data can be spread over several data sources and types of data sources, or

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is one of the best thing to happen to software development in decades. It has within it the key to our hardest software architecture problems: how to slice up our software, how to write maintainable software, how to name things … and most importantly of all, how to meet the needs of
