Adam has designed and maintained complex software systems at several companies in the finance industry. He's seen both the good and the bad that can come from applying techniques like SOA, DDD, and microservices. He also likes to speak, maintain open source projects, and fix white space rule violations.
Five Common Mistakes With Distributed Systems
Does your system involve more than one computer? Then you have a distributed system. While distributed systems can be highly effective, it's easy to get things wrong. Sometimes, so wrong, it would be better to run everything on one big, expensive, machine. Usually this stems from one or more common mistakes, all of which I've made myself over the years, but as they say—learning comes from doing.
Join me and learn how to detect, avoid, and fix these mistakes and streamline your distributed systems for years to come.
Less is More - a Build Pipeline for the Modern Age
In today's world of rich CI and infrastructure tooling, it's often easy to forget about elements of the UNIX philosophy:
“Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together.”
As it turns out, we can apply this philosophy to our build and CI/CD pipelines just as much as ever. In my personal journey, I've followed the bell curve from from basic building blocks, to rich, integrated systems, and all the way back down again.
Join me and learn how to pick the best building blocks for your build pipeline, with examples in C# and .NET, and above all—how to keep it simple.
