Design, SOLID, OOP, Unix, Microservices. All in one talk brought to us by Alexandru Bolboabca.

1. "Applying Design Principles to Microservices" by Alexandru Bolboaca

"When designing code, we use specific design principles: SOLID, GRASP, or the UNIX philosophy. Do these still apply to microservices?

In this talk, we will explore these sets of design principles and the effects they have when applied to microservices. Specifically, we will look at obtaining:

- Alan Kay’s original vision for OOP and how it applies to microservices

- the UNIX idea of small programs with a single goal that communicate through text interfaces

We will see how from these principles we can learn interesting things:

- how most programming languages are using class-oriented

programming rather than object-oriented programming

- how microservices follow Alan Kay’s vision of objects that respond to

- why low coupling is necessary when dealing with a large number of

microservices, if we want to optimize for change

- how microservices can and should take advantage of Conway’s law

- how encapsulation means that each microservice should have its own

- finally, how all these lead to a system that has eventual consistency due to the CAP theorem"

He has been involved in large projects in many industries, including banking, energy, telecommunications, media planning, printing, pharma, eHealth. From practical experience, he also advises and teaches on topics such as architecting microservices, agile architecture, usable software design, evolutionary design, crafting code, clean code and refactoring legacy code with focus on design."

We'll see each other online as we did the last time. We'll come back soon with the link.
