Software is not a Building - Designing Technical Architecture for Change

Short overview of Continuous integration: Reasons, Continuous Model, Continuous integration tools, Jenkins, Bamboo, Task types

The goal of Serverless is to focus on writing the code that delivers business value and offload everything else to your trusted partners (like Cloud providers or SaaS vendors). You want to iterate quickly and today’s code quickly becomes tomorrow’s technical debt. In this talk we will show why Serverless adoption increases the developer productivity and how to measure it. We will also go through AWS Serverless architectures where you only glue together different Serverless managed services relying solely on configuration, minimizing the amount of the code written.

Continuous Delivery is hot. As we all increasingly compete using software, the business always wants more change faster. However, change is seen as risky. How do we deliver quickly while not exposing the business to excessive risk? What does this imply for how we update our mission critical databases? Successful continuous delivery efforts use quality as an enabler of rapid change. Rapid feedback on the quality of the application, and a disciplined, high quality process support frequent delivery of business value, rather than frequent outage. IBM UrbanCode’s Eric Minick and DBmaestro’s Yaniv Yehuda present how to build safety in to your delivery process. We will look at database change in some detail while delivering generally applicable lessons.

Slides from my talk at ConFoo Montreal, February 2016. A presentation on how to apply configuration management (CM) principles for your various environments, to control changes made to them. You apply CM on your code, why not on your environments content? This presentation will present the infrastructure as code principles using Chef and/or Ansible. Topics discussed include Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery/Deployment principles, Infrastructure As Code and DevOps.

This document provides an overview of DevOps, including definitions, principles, challenges, and how DevOps addresses issues with traditional development models. Some key points covered include: - DevOps aims to unify development and operations teams to accelerate delivery through a collaborative culture, automation, measurement, and sharing. - Traditional models caused bottlenecks due to lack of alignment between teams. DevOps breaks down silos and improves coordination. - DevOps follows a continuous development lifecycle using practices like continuous integration, delivery, and deployment. - Automation, infrastructure as code, containers, and cloud platforms help optimize the development and deployment process in DevOps.

The document provides 10 pieces of advice for software architects. It begins by introducing Eberhard Wolff and his background. Some of the key advice includes: understanding that the role of architect has changed with agile development and they are not managers; focusing on non-functional requirements and quality; caring about architecture and code quality rather than just diagrams; measuring code quality using tools; and ensuring proper dependency management to maintain architecture. The architect role is compared to that of a craftsman focusing on continual improvement rather than being separated from developers.

This document provides 10 tips for software architects. It begins by introducing the author and their background. It then discusses that the role of a software architect is not well-defined and involves managing non-functional requirements and quality. Architects are responsible for defining and enforcing architecture. The document discusses how architects fit into agile development methodologies like Scrum. It argues that "architect" may not be the best metaphor and discusses an alternative view of architects as master craftsmen. The tips emphasize having your own opinion, improving vocabulary, eating your own dog food, avoiding broken windows, using domain-driven design strategically, caring about code and architecture, measuring and reducing complexity, and managing dependencies.

This document discusses various app architectures and coding best practices. It covers design patterns like MVC, MVP, MVVM and architectural concepts like dependency injection.

Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, well structured, tested and has an architecture that encourages enhancement and maintainability is essential. When it comes to building large server-focused apps the solutions to this problem have been tried and tested. But, how do you achieve this when building HTML5 single page apps? BladeRunnerJS is an open source developer toolkit and lightweight front-end framework that has helped Caplin Systems ensure that a 200k LoC JavaScript codebase hasn’t become a tangled mess of unstable spaghetti code. This codebase is packaged and delivered to customers as an SDK. Additionally customers receive a getting started application of around 50k LoC for them to build upon, and they’re expected not to turn that into a tangled … you get the idea. In this talk you’ll learn the main concepts to apply when building a front-end app that scales and how BladeRunnerJS can support the development process.
