Reflections on Clean Architecture and Microservices

Jeremy Miller offers insights on clean architecture and microservices. He suggests organizing code around use cases rather than nouns, focusing on the vertical slice architecture or the message-driven approach. This approach allows for simpler and more maintainable codebase. It also simplifies troubleshooting and unwinding code-related issues. Furthermore, Jeremy advocates for a lower ceremony coding model, reducing the number of mandatory steps required to split features and promoting easier integration testing. The conversation also touches on the use of mock libraries, emphasizing the importance of using them judiciously, avoiding overuse or complete dismissal, and finding the right balance. The discussion concludes with reflections on the current state of software development, highlighting shifts towards minimal approaches, small teams, and leveraging tools like the Microsoft Power Platform for efficient and effective solutions.
