Hexagonal Architecture Ports&Adapters with J. Martinsson & R. Sanlaville

Feb 10, 2015

Until recently, layered architecture was the most common way of organizing large applications or modules. We’ve learned from practice that it has limitations:

  • business rules tend to escape or be duplicated in UI and/or data layer
  • switching from a database to another is very difficult
  • adding another UI to the application (eg. mobile or smart client) requires heavy changes
  • changing a library used by the application with another is often complex and risky

A new architecture style has appeared in the recent years that tackles this problem: Hexagonal Architecture, or Ports & Adapters. Its intent is to allow more flexibility by cleanly separating business rules from everything else.

Johann Martinsson and Rémy Sanlaville have described the basics of Hexagonal Architecture and then shown an example of such an architecture.

Docker & Zero Downtime Deployment rules

May 06, 2016
Enjoy the following series of interviews with the speakers, top-notch software crafters from across Europe, joining  I T.A.K.E Unconference, Bucharest, 19-20 May. Discover the lessons learned and what drives them to challenge the known path in their field. 

 

Tugberk Ugurlu, Software Developer at Redgate Software, will share at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016 about how docker changes the way you can work with and release your microservices & zero downtime deployment golden rules.i-take-unconference-speaker.011

#1. Share with us 5 things you did that helped you grow & become the professional you are today

  • Read and try stuff
  • Be part of the software community
  • Ask questions
  • Coding outside the work (side projects, open source contributions, etc.)
  • Learn by teaching (speaking at conferences, writing blogs posts, etc.)

 

#2. What challenges will the participants find solutions to during your session at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016?

Both of my talks are overcoming the challenges of modern software products. Zero-downtime deployment session will empathize on the possibility of always-up systems and making continuous deployment more adoptable. There are a few things to watch out on this space and I am hoping to highlight on that by giving examples and demos on my real world experiences.

The docker session will get you a higher level on how a tool can make a difference on developing and releasing products, in this case microservices.

 

#3. What else would you like to share with participants

I like to be part of the software community. So, I produce a lot. You can follow my activity on my blog and GitHub account.

I love traveling and discovering new places. I am a huge Formula 1 fan.

Microservices Architecture by James Lewis and Martin Fowler

James Lewis, keynote at I T.A.K.E. Unconference 2015, has a valuable contribution on Microservices Architecture.

Sneak peak:

In short, the microservice architectural style [1] is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralized management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage technologies.

If interested in this topic, read the full contribution, jointly created with Martin Fowler.

Join I T.A.K.E. Unconference 2015 to hear more in his talk: Microservices – Systems That Are #neverdone.
