Stop Punching Yourself in the Face • Hannes Lowette • GOTO 2020

This presentation was recorded at GOTOpia November 2020. #GOTOcon #GOTOpia http://gotopia.eu Hannes Lowette - Performance Coach with Exceptional Skills around Databases, Distributed Systems and Large Scale Apps ABSTRACT Making choices is hard. As developers, we make choices all the time: architectures, frameworks, libraries, cloud providers, etc. So, if you have been around for a while, you probably ended up regretting at least some of those choices. In this talk, you will learn how to make choices responsibly and what to look out for if you want to minimize the chance of regretting them later. I dive into several situations where the choices we made as a team have gone horribly wrong. Luckily, I learned these lessons the hard way, so you don’t have to! Now, if only there was a way to prove your newly acquired skills to your peers and superiors. Well, there is: RAD Certification! I will conclude my talk by telling you about this. And as a bonus, if you get certified during the conference, you can score your RAD certificate [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 00:43 What we do 01:01 The magpie 01:37 The software developer 02:18 Is this surprising? 03:18 Our education 04:12 We look for guidance... 05:10 ...until we run into a wall! 05:18 An adventure with CHAD 05:53 The RavenDB story 09:42 The Agatha story 15:06 The EventStore story 18:45 The Entity Framework story 23:09 The "big old project" story 26:40 The Microservices story 32:16 Summary Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotopia.eu/november-2020/sessions/1629/stop-punching-yourself-in-the-face RECOMMENDED BOOKS Sam Newman • Monolith to Microservices • https://amzn.to/2Nml96E Sam Newman • Building Microservices • https://amzn.to/3dMPbOs Ronnie Mitra & Irakli Nadareishvili • Microservices: Up and Running• https://amzn.to/3c4HmmL Mitra, Nadareishvili, McLarty & Amundsen • Microservice Architecture • https://amzn.to/3fVNAb0 Chris Richardson • Microservices Patterns • https://amzn.to/2SOnQ7h Adam Bellemare • Building Event-Driven Microservices • https://amzn.to/3yoa7TZ Dave Farley • Continuous Delivery Pipelines • https://amzn.to/3hjiE51 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #SoftwareArchitecture #RavenDB #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #AgathaRRSL #MVC #EventStore #ASPNET #EntityFramework #SQL #Microservices #Agular #Docker #k8s #Kubernetes #MongoDB #SOLID #TeamSkills #Culture #Axxes Looking for a unique learning experience?
