Edwin Maldonado (Independent Consultant)
Software engineers usually find themselves changing hard-coded content on the presentation layer, changing a paragraph here and there; that’s difficult to maintain and hard to scale. Now imagine you have to support and apply the same changes on a website and other devices. Edwin Maldonado outlines the basics so you can design a reusable information architecture. Read more.

Stefan Hofer (WPS - Workplace Solutions), dorota kochanowska (Workplace Solutions)
Average rating: ***..
(3.00, 1 rating)
When you want to apply domain-driven design (DDD), you must first master the domain. In this hands-on examination, Stefan Hofer, and Dorota Kochanowska show you how to build up domain knowledge with domain storytelling. Domain stories help you better understand a domain, identify what is core, segregate bounded contexts, and constitute ubiquitous language. Read more.

Average rating: ***..
(3.50, 2 ratings)
Data science, machine learning, and data manipulation and preparation are all core components of a future, trendy, world of software engineering. Many of these are built with "quick hacks," tiny scripts, or based on pipelines that are cobbled together from multiple components, frameworks, and the like. Mars Geldard and Paris Buttfield-Addison explore if software architecture matters to this world. Read more.

Ivan Jovanovic (NearForm)
Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 1 rating)
Applications are becoming so big and complex and most of the app is living on the client side. It’s hard to maintain those apps, and you’re usually making more bugs than you're fixing. Ivan Jovanovic explores how to fix this problem. Welcome to the era of micro-frontends, a microservice-oriented architecture on the frontend. Read more.

Rufus Raghunath (ThoughtWorks), Giamir Buoncristiani (ThoughtWorks)
Rufus Raghunath and Giamir Buoncristiani apply the principles of evolutionary architecture to UI, first described by Neal Ford, Rebecca Parsons, and Patrick Kua. Neal's a colleague of theirs and has been kind enough to review their content, so they share an authentic look at how frontend engineering can benefit from this progressive approach to architecture.

Erik Dörnenburg (ThoughtWorks)
Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 1 rating)
Architectures based on microservices have spread rapidly. Organizations are drawn to the promises of microservices but fail to carry the architecture through to the frontend, resulting in the dreaded frontend monolith. Erik Dörnenburg explores patterns harvested from practical use that show how to build micro-frontends to realize the benefits of microservices in systems with rich user interfaces. Read more.

Vladik Khononov explains how he and his team embraced domain-driven design (DDD) at Plexop, a large-scale marketing system that spans over a dozen different business domains. Join in to learn how DDD allowed the team to manage business complexities, see what worked (and what didn't), and discover where they had to adapt the DDD methodology to fit the company's needs.

Florian Rappl (smapiot), Lothar Schöttner (smapiot)
The architecture pattern of microservices is found in many modern system landscapes, offering flexibility for the backend services. The frontend is very often realized as a monolith. Florian Rappl and Lothar Schöttner explore microservices and detail an example implementation of a highly modular frontend architecture that mirrors the dynamic of a modern microservices backend.

Vladik Khononov (DoiT International)
Average rating: ****.
(4.33, 3 ratings)
Events are our industry’s near and dear. All technological conferences are full of talks on event sourcing, event-driven architectures, or event-driven integrations. Vladik Khononov adds another one, but a bit different. Let’s talk about the dark side of this pattern—the cases in which events turn into an anti-pattern, how to identify them, and, of course, how to turn the project around. Read more.

Andrew Harmel-Law (ThoughtWorks), Gayathri Thiyagarajan (Expedia Group)
Everyone doing large-scale software delivery is using domain-driven design (DDD) these days, because it holds the key to delivering maintainable, evolvable solutions with independent teams. But it can go wrong, and then DDD is blamed. Andrew Harmel-Law and Gayathri Thiyagarajan detail a real project they saw fail. You'll learn the many problems they spotted and how they fixed them.
