Using patterns and pattern languages to make better architectural decisions
This is a presentation that I recently gave at the O’Reilly Software Architecture Superstream: Software Architecture Patterns.

The talk’s focus is the microservices pattern language. However, it also shows how thinking with the pattern mindset - context / problem / forces / solution / consequences - leads to better technical decisions.


Hands on Microservices architecture and design workshop for teams
The remote version of my 3 day hands-on workshop for teams is available. Through a combination of Zoom-based and video lectures, Zoom discussions, architecture exercises, and code labs, I walk you through using the microservice architecture to develop your applications.

You’ll learn how to deal with some of the key obstacles you’ll face including distributed data management and discover strategies for refactoring a monolith to a microservice architecture.

New video: Modular monoliths and microservices: architectural patterns for rapid, reliable, frequent and sustainable development
In October 2021, I gave a keynote at iSAQB software architecture gathering 2021.
I use the metaphors of dark energy and dark matter to compare and contrast three architectural patterns: traditional monolith, modular monolith and microservices. The video is now available.
