Software Architektur im Stream

Written self-reflection is very powerful and - at the same time - it is still quite rarely used in the business context. Cosima talks with Lisa about why this is the case and what can be done to improve the situation.

Organisation und communication have a huge impact on software desgin and architecture. Avraham Poupko and Kenny Baas-Schwegler take this a step further and talk about the influence of culture on software design.

James Lewis is one of the microservices pioneers. We talk about when to use microservices and the organizational side of microservices e.g. the inverse Conway maneuver. Lately, James became interested in flow. Links Talk Java the Unix Way Video Slides Java the Unix Way Video Microservices article by James Lewis and Martin Fowler

Software architecture is fundamentally about how to split a software system into multiple parts. In this episode, we discuss this basic challenge: We talk about modularization with approaches like microservices and monoliths with Chris Richardson. Chris is a Java Champion and a Java One rock star. Nowadays, he works on microservices with his web site microservices.io and his book “Microservices Patterns”.

Software architects are faced with uncertainty more often than we like to admit. How can we deal with it - or can we even make it disappear? In this episode, we will talk about uncertainty with Kevlin Henney. He has been a member of the IEEE Software Advisory Board, coauthor of several books on patterns, editor of 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know, and co-editor 97 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know.

The architecture of a system has to change over time. In this episode, we will discuss evolutionary architecture and why it is important. We will talk about patterns and principles to build architectures that stand the test of time. Dr Rebecca Parsons co-authored of a book about evolutionary architecture and has extensive experience with application development. Before becoming the CTO for Thoughtworks, she worked as an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida and as Director’s Post Doctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Scott W.

Lose Kopplung stellt eine grundlegende Eigenschaft eines modularen Systems dar. Sie soll Änderungen vereinfachen, indem jede Änderung nur einen begrenzten Teil eines Systems beeinflusst. Obwohl der Begriff so wichtig ist, gibt es gerade in diesem Bereich immer wieder Missverständnisse. In dieser Episode diskutiert Eberhard Wolff die Bedeutung des Begriff und warum lose Kopplung so wichtig für Software-Systeme ist. Außerdem spricht er über verschiedene Ansätze, um lose Kopplung tatsächlich zu erreichen. Links Wikipedia zu Loose Coupling Wikipedia zum Robustheitsgrundsatz / Gesetz von Postel Kafka Video

In der Software-Architektur gibt es viele verschiedene Stile: Schichten, Hexagonal, Clean, Onion – aber auch ganz andere Ansätze wie MVC (Model-View-Controller) oder Domain-driven Design (DDD). In dieser Episode sprechen Henning Schwentner und Eberhard Wolff über die verschiedenen Stile. Neben den Eigenschaften der einzelnen Ansätze geht es auch um eine Kombination, mit der Henning schon viele Erfahrungen gesammelt hat: den Architektur-Hamburger.

Wissensaustausch ist gerade bei Software-Architektur entscheidend. Und gerade Bücher sind dafür ein wichtiges Medium. In der Episode sprechen Lisa und Eberhard über ihre eigenen Erfahrungen als Autor:innen. Sie berichten darüber, wie man das Schreiben eines Buches angeht und warum ein solches Projekt sinnvoll sein kann.
