One of my key takeaways from Tammer Saleh’s microservices anti-patterns talk at CraftConf is that we need to record correlation IDs to help us debug microservices. Why do we need Correlation IDs? Suppose a user request comes in and after various aspects of the request has been handled by several services something goes wrong. …

In enterprises we tend to sell architectural projects by showing you the current messy state and pitch you an idealized end state. But the problem is that, the ideal end state we’re pitching exists only as an idea, without having gone through all the compromises and organic growth that made the current state messy. Once we …

Having been primarily involved with .Net languages in my career so far, homoiconicity was a new idea to me when I first encountered it in Clojure (and also later in Elixir). If you look it up on wikipedia, you’ll find the usual wordy definition that vaguely makes sense. “…homoiconicity is a property of some programming …

I’ve spent time with Rust at various points in the past, and being a language in development it was no surprise that every time I looked there were breaking changes and even the documentations look very different at every turn! Fast forward to May 2015 and it has now hit the 1.0 milestone so things …
Stumbled across this slidedeck today, it’s very informative and so I feel obliged to share!
The video and interactive transcript is also available on InfoQ’s page here.
When I hear people talk about Go, a lot of the discussions focus on its concurrency features. Whilst it has a good concurrency story, the language landscape is currently filled with languages that have an equally good or better concurrency story – F#, Erlang, Elixir, Clojure, etc… Personally, what I found really interesting from my …

Personally I think it’s great that both Tammer and Adrian have spent a lot of time talking about challenges with micro-services at CraftConf. There has been so much …

One of the great things about CraftConf is the plethora of big name tech speakers that the organizers have managed to attract. Michael Feathers is definitely one of the names that made me excited to go to CraftConf. Know your commits We have a bias towards the current state of our code, but we …

There were a couple of micro-services related talks at this year’s edition of CraftConf. The first was by Adrian Trenaman of Gilt, who talked about their journey from a monolithic architecture to micro-services, and from self-managed datacentres to the cloud. From Monolith to Micro-Services They started off with a Ruby on Rails monolithic architecture …
