    Sam Newman: Practical Implications of Microservices in 14 Tips

    What are the practical concerns associated with running microservice systems? And what you need to know to embrace the power of smaller services without making things too hard? At last GeeCon 2014 in Krakow, Sam Newman tried to answer those questions by giving 14 tips about how microservices can interface, how the can be monitored, deployed, and made safer.

  • Why SOA Should Be Viewed As “Dependency-Oriented Thinking”

    Ganesh Prasad proposes minimizing service dependencies in a SOA implementation rather than avoiding point-to-point connections in order to obtain a more flexible system that can evolve over time.

  • Web APIs and the n+1 Problem

    The n+1 one problem doesn’t just affect ORMs. Any kind of Web API, RPC/Web Service or RESTful, can suffer from the same performance problems. In this article, Ali Kheyrollahi discusses some of the common scenarios that lead to n+1 in web APIs and ways to correct them.

  • Russ Miles on Antifragility and Microservices

    Currently, Antifragility and Microservices are trending topics and this might be a hint that there are new architectural paradigms or design patterns on their way for building application systems.. We're discussing these new concepts with Russ Miles to find out what they are good for and how to apply them in an architect's or developer's daily business - for existing applications and those to come

  • Exposing CQRS Through a RESTful API

    Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an architectural pattern that segregates reads and writes of a system into two separate models. We propose and demonstrate an approach for building a RESTful API on top of CQRS systems. This approach joins HTTP semantics and resource-based style of REST APIs with distributed computing concerns such as eventual consistency and concurrency.

  • Designing and Implementing Hypermedia APIs

    This article (the second in a four-part series) walks through the implementation of a hypermedia server based on the design for the class scheduling problem domain outlined in the first installment of this series. In upcoming weekly installments of the series, details of implementing hypermedia clients will be reviewed along with techniques for evolving the API safely over time.

  • Designing and Implementing Hypermedia APIs

    This article (the first in a four-part series) talks briefly about the concept of using hypermedia as an application programming interface (API) and how to design a hypermedia type to use as a basis for your API. In upcoming weekly installments of the series, details of implementing hypermedia servers and clients will be reviewed along with techniques for evolving the API safely over time.

  • Introduction to Interface-Driven Development Using Swagger and Scalatra

    Since it began life a little over three years ago, the Scalatra web micro-framework has evolved into a lightweight but full-featured MVC framework with a lively community behind it. Scalatra started out as a port of Ruby's Sinatra to the Scala language. Since then the two systems have evolved independently, with Scalatra gaining capabilities such as an Atmosphere integration and Akka support.
