An airhacks.fm conversation with Prof. dr. Matjaz Juric (@matjazbj) about: the larger the system, the more important the modularization, modularization and reuse, modularization and business requirements, cross-cutting logic is a solved problem, a module is a Java package, OSGi introduces additional complexity, packaging vs modularity, modularization and team work, most of the patterns became a part of the platform, isolation with deployment units, a module is a Dockerfile, internal modularization became less important, physical and logical modularization, logical over physical modularization, physical modularization introduces complexity, costs driven development, kubernetes and modularization, cloud complexity vs. Java runtime complexity, wrong cloud expectations, CI/CD in the clouds, internal microservice structure should be simpler, ECS blue green deployment with AWS CodeDeploy, vendor independence vs. cloud specific services in the clouds, Payara Cloud: Payara cluster became Kubernetes operator, functions and microservices, serverless computing with functions, function communication styles, Apache Kafka and functions, the Outbox pattern is too technical, KumuluzEE and Kumuluz Platform, Prof. dr.
