Dynamic & Proud • Malcolm Sparks • GOTO 2024

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2024. #GOTOcon #GOTOcph https://gotocph.com Malcolm Sparks - Founder/CTO at JUXT RESOURCES https://bsky.app/profile/malcolmsparks.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmsparks https://github.com/malcolmsparks https://twitter.com/malcolmsparks ABSTRACT Debates still rage over Objects vs Functions, Microservices vs Monoliths, but it can feel like the static vs dynamic smackdown has lost momentum. As a flag-waving Clojurian, I want to show how the Dynamic approach remains the best fit for complex data domains such as Financial Services, drawing on modern case-studies of challenger banks. I want to show a layered, iterative approach to using schema as code, helps teams to coordinate with less boilerplate code proliferation. I will then discuss the dynamic approach at the architectural level, showing how in combination with immutability, you can scale up a more powerful and simpler way of building up systems. This talk will include a summary of my journey from ex-Java TDD finatic, to founding a Clojure Consultancy, to building an immutable, bitemporal, dynamically powered SQL database in XTDB.
