The three main front-end coding languages are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, wherein a large number of frameworks are based on JavaScript. The code written by back-end developers is what communicates the database information to the browser. It means everything that end-users visually see first in their browser or application.

Having our core logic isolated means we can easily change data source details without a significant impact or major code rewrites to the codebase. One of the main advantages we also saw in having an app with clear boundaries is our testing strategy?—?the

The microservices era has been good for software architecture. A domain service builds on the basic definition of a microservice: it’s a loosely-coupled, independently deployable element of software architecture which is owned by a single team. I remember when the idea of multiple databases was punishable by death.

If you would like to learn or practice how to break up a large business into domains and use them as the foundation for your software architecture and team organization, I have created a strategic domain-driven design kata that you may find useful. Design review is basically a code review but for architecture.

I’ve been disappointed for a long time with the way in which companies organise software development teams. I remember as a young, naive software developer, I assumed there would be structured processes and patterns similar to those used for designing a software architecture.

If you want to get started with Strategic DDD to gain deeper insights into your domain and to align your software architecture with your domain, you can use this Miro board: [link] No sign up, installation, or payment is required to view the board. In order to use the tools you will need to copy them onto a board of your own.

In companies with many teams and many millions of lines of code, including a lot of legacy, there are endless things that can be improved in the product, software, and organization. It can guid you through your first few cycles of discovery, strategy, and implementation and then you’ll be in a good place to guide yourself.

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. The same mindset should also be applied to architecture; involve the whole team and challenge the small details.

This organisational pattern can be mirrored in the software architecture, emphasising the sociotechnical nature of systems. While it is nice to go out of your way to please others, the resulting compromises to the software architecture can lead to dangerous sociotechnical side-effects.

And that in order to achieve this strategy implementing a culture of performance throughout the organization is a must. And once the teams started working off of the knowledge, it meant organizing performance-focused design and code reviews, training and education, plus providing tools and assets to support these ongoing efforts.

But without investment in strong technical practices that keep code healthy and evolvable, you will never be able to go fast, regardless of how teams are organized. Teams need to be able to build and deploy software very easily. If you want to go fast, you need a codebase that can be easily modified.

Lack of accountability leads to unmaintainable software that grows harder and harder to change. As our legacy systems become less maintainable the negative spiral begins: the code is hard to evolve, nobody enjoys working on it, features take ages to deliver, politics ramp up….

One of the key decisions we need to make in software architecture and in our organisations is when and where to create shared services and organise teams to build them. Typically they deploy software once a quarter and love to have code freezes. Creating a shared dependency can boost the productivity of downstream teams.

Along with tangled code, this could mean a large scale coordination across many teams if the notifications approach changes. It needs to know when to send notifications and what type of notification to send. Is it sensible to have notifications logic scattered throughout all of the bounded contexts?

In Domain-Driven Design, a large system is decomposed into bounded contexts , which become natural boundaries in code as microservices and as teams in the organisation. This is the question I get asked the most, so I’ve put together this article describing a workshop recipe you can use. There is no shortcut to identifying good boundaries.

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. Whenever a team starts on a piece of work they should own all of the code and infrastructure that needs to change in order to deliver the work.
