Workshop

Domain-Driven Design: Theory and Practice

Go beyond the hype and build a solid foundation of theory and practice with this workshop on message-oriented architecture and development.

More details

Day 1, 11:40

Domain-Driven Refactoring

Books, workshops, storming and more, all build up an idealized domain model. All describe great techniques for domain-driven greenfield applications. But what about the code we have? How can we take what's already built, and move it towards a better, more cohesive design?

In this session, we'll look at anemic, procedural, boring code and examine code smells that can point us in the right direction. We'll also look at standard design patterns for more complex behaviors and models, and how to recognize when (and when not) to apply them. Finally, we'll cover how to safely apply refactoring techniques to achieve our domain-driven model nirvana.

Day 2, 15:00

Consistency and Agreements in Microservices

In a monolith, achieving consistency is easy - just use a transaction! In a distributed world, where we mix legacy and greenfield, getting systems to agree becomes quite a bit more complex. We have different databases, different communication methods, caches, and more. How can we get anything to agree on the state of anything?

In this session, we'll look at how to implement various consistency and transactional patterns, to support both real-time and async updates. We'll also look at long-running transaction patterns such as sagas to manage agreements between systems. Finally, we'll look at a full working example that crosses databases, APIs, messaging, and more.

About DevConf

From the very beginning we've been focused on people, not on companies. Being developers ourselves we thrive to provide the ultimate experience that will be remembered. We'd like to connect awesome speakers with the willing-to-learn-and-share community. It's not only about sessions - it's also about meeting with like-minded people - it can result in great ideas, is that right?
