2024 - BreizhCamp Rennes 🇫🇷

As time goes by, most applications tend to grow heavier and heavier, until they become too expensive to maintain.

Thankfully, DDD happens to include a whole section, often overlooked, called “Supple Design”. It provides techniques to reach for a design that can easily adapt to future needs. To put it simply: code that is -and will remain- a pleasure to work with.

Are these techniques from 20 years ago still relevant? How do they articulate with other concepts that have appeared since then? In order to answer these questions, let us review each of the principles of Supple Design, illustrate them in a live coding session, and see how they make sense as a whole.

Service Mesh is a concept that has been trending for a few years now, and for good reason, as it brings great benefits to microservice architectures… But wait, what is this all supposed to mean?

This presentation goes back to basics to give you a clear understanding of what a Service Mesh actually is and how it could help you in your day-to-day work.

Architecture et documentation - ADRs (2019) 🇫🇷

The systems we work on evolve over time. This includes changes in their architecture, to which the architecture documentation must adapt. This is the problem that Architecture Decision Records, aka ADRs, offer to tackle.

The purpose of this article is to help you understand what defines an ADR and to give you pointers as to how you can introduce this new type of documentation.
