Videos and tutorials on the Unified Modeling Language (UML), Software Architecture and Data Modeling
Conversations about architecture can now be summarized in simple words – you start a project, do microservices. The question is, is this a good approach? Is each problem to be solved using the ‘cloud application in microservice architecture’? Of course not! So why are we doing this? Is there a different approach to the problem? […]

This talk covers basic concepts in domain-driven design (DDD), and we discuss why and how DDD can help create microservices with better autonomy, scalability, and reliability. Using examples, we navigate from a domain model to the design of both synchronous (REST-based) and asynchronous (reactive) microservices.

All software architectures have to deal with stress. It is simply the way the world works! Stressors come from multiple directions, including changes in the marketplace, business models, and customer demand, as well as infrastructure failures, improper or unexpected inputs, and bugs. As software architects, one of our jobs is to create solutions that meet

As a software developer, you may have heard the terms “Microservices” and “Service-Oriented Architecture” (SOA) in the past. You have tried to understand them by googling and asking people and that only resulted in either an incomplete picture of how it works or, more likely, a bunch of wildly varied and even conflicting information. Or

As the prison sentence of Volkswagen software engineer James Liang has shown, software architecture can have far-reaching legal and ethical consequences. And although few software architects will ever be involved in ethical dilemmas of the magnitude Mr. Liang had to deal with, most of us will at some time or other be involved in architectural
