Helping organizations accelerate software delivery

I provide consulting and training services that help organizations improve their architecture and accelerate software delivery.

I can, for example, review your microservice architecture and identify areas of improvement, or teach a workshop on how to design a microservice architecture.

I also can teach a 1 day workshop Microservices rules: what good looks like that can help you decide whether microservices are a good fit for your application.

In April and May, I'll be making trips to Asia. If you are interested in a workshop or consulting engagement at your company, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I'll also be available for remote engagements in those timezones.

When we design software using DDD, we primarily focus on creating models scoped by bounded contexts that define ubiquitous languages. We also structure the models and the elements they contain to be loosely coupled and highly cohesive. However, while (logical) design techniques such as DDD domain modeling concepts, loose coupling and high cohesion are essential for creating good software, they are insufficient when designing a microservice architecture. In particular, we must also consider other more physical constraints including team size; team, process and transaction boundaries; and the cost of communication over a network.

In this talk, I describe a set of physical design principles for organizing subdomains into microservices. You will learn about both principles that encourage finer-grained decomposition into services as well as those that discourage decomposition. I describe how to apply those principles to design a microservice architecture.

To learn more please take a look at the slides and video.

It covers the key distributed data management patterns including Saga, API Composition, and CQRS.

The bootcamp consists of video lectures, quizzes and code walk-throughs/labs. It's self-paced and you can start at any time. There is a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.
