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
Granularity Java ARchive Package Class
Divide and conquer
Component Single unit to understand
Component Single unit to change
Component Scope of risk of change
B Smaller unit to understand A
B Reduced risk of change A
B Cost of separation A

Code analysis JDepend Sonarcube

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…
