Software architecture ⁽⁵⁾

As you might have guessed if you’ve followed my postings about the Sleepy Hollow Architecture and the Terminus Architecture, I’m on a quest. I want to find a better way to fundamentally structure software for higher evolvability. Not as an end to itself, but because…

In my experience most software architectures in projects I see are too technical. They don’t focus on the most important thing: results and behavior. Robert C. Martin coined they term „screaming architecture“: Your architectures should tell readers about the system, not about the frameworks you…

There is a basic structure of software systems I’m drifting towards more and more. To me it’s more fundamental than MVC or Layered Architecture or Clean Architecture. I call it the Sleepy Hollow Architecture because it’s about dissecting code into two parts: a body and…

Dependencies are the bane of software development. They make code rigid, difficult to understand, and hard to test. If we want to do better we need to deal better with dependencies. Of course quite some efforts have been made in this direction. The SOLID principles…

Microservice architectures seem to be the latest craze. When in doubt, bet your software architecture on microservices. They sure will deliver everything but the kitchen sink. Or maybe think twice? Because microservices like all technologies and paradigms come with a price. And this price is…
