Background 5 years of consulting Lots of code reviews Eoin
Woods‘ talk on InfoQ
"If you think architecture is expensive, try no architecture.
Macro VS. Micro Architecture
Macro VS. Micro Architecture
Sample Code http://github.com/olivergierke/ whoops-architecture
Roadmap Divide and conquer Of layers and slices A plain
Java based approach
Architecture 101
Know your dependencies
Explicit / Visible dependencies
Granularity Modules Layers Vertical slices Subsystems

Divide and conquer

A plain Java based approach
"How far can we get with plain Java means only?
Presentation Service Data Access Account Customer Core
Packages
….layer.slice ….slice.layer ….slice
….web.core ….service.core ….repository.core
….core.web ….core.service ….core.repository
….core ….customer ….account
"Why the f#$k should I even care?
"Does it make a difference?
Dependency management
"You only need to manage, what you can refer to…
Layers first Leaks slice internals Lower layers visible to everyone
Slices first/only Start with package per slice Expose interfaces and
domain types Keep implementations private
Slices first/only Encapsulates business module Internals understood anyway
"Start with less packages and the least visibility possible…

Take-aways Know your dependencies On every granularity Start as strict
as possible Get lenient where necessary
