First local 4Developers edition – Gdańsk

I’m really happy to be a part of first local 4Developers edition as a speaker 🙂 About half year ago I presented my topic about the Evolution of Architecture at Warsaw edition of this great event (You can read more about this talk here) and received really motivating feedback from audience. Finally I decided to try my chances to join pomeranian edition as well. As you can see with success 🙂

I really like the idea of 4Developers Tech Festival and this interdisciplinary approach to topics selection. Because of that professionals that work in different business environment can exchange experiences and find how much we have in common regardless to used technologies or programming language. It’s pretty similar strategy as I use with my colleagues organizing SpreadIT conference 🙂

Note that there will be another local edition of 4Developers soon! Check it out 🙂 And good luck to organizers!

Orchestrate your choreography!

What my talk will be about? Here’s short note:

When we speak about orchestration we should think of conductor in philharmonic orchestra. Basically His role is to show rhythm to all musicians. In the other hand “Swan Lake” musical don’t need conductor for dancers. They know when its their part, and which steps they need to do. It’s all because of choreography.

You can find a lot of examples which use this two fundamental ways of keeping processes in correct order. You can find them in Event Driven Architecture, Microservices, CQRS, Hexagonal Architecture and so on. In my opinion we should talk about them more- to understand them and use them in correct and proper way.

Sometimes you need to do one step back to be able to do two steps forward. I would like to show you advantages and disadvantages of orchestration and choreography. I would like to show you when to use them and finally – how to do it effectively.

My talk will be held at 2PM on App Arch Track. Full agenda here. Also there is site event on blog if you like to check location here 🙂

4Developers Gdańsk – Pomeranian edition of the biggest tech festival in Poland

Evolving Architecture @ 4Developers 2017

4Developers is an interdisciplinary festival for developers that consists of diverse tracks led in small groups. The idea of the event is to create a space that promotes the activity of specialists – the exchange of knowledge and experiences of IT community. However, 4Developers is so much more than just lectures. It is also a great opportunity to step outside the lecture zone and meet with world class specialists and enthusiasts of the IT world in a relaxed atmosphere.

My talk: Evolving Architecture

During development phase its very easy to cross the design boundary – we want to take care about all possibilities and potential changes that can happen in our project. On the other hand when we are under the time pressure we take shortcuts which could in the end increase cost of even simple changes. How to deal with “overdesign”? How (at the same time) don’t close for improvements and changes? When we should make crucial technical decisions and when accept technical debt? This session is about true stories, mostly about huge mistakes, but also sometimes about decisions which in the end were very sucessfull. The session for all who don’t want to end up with project that need’s to be rewritten to add a new button. The session for all who cares.
