🏆 Featured talks of the week

Here are the must-watch talks uploaded since the last issue:

"Engineering leadership in 2024 and beyond: Skating where the puck is going when the ice is melting" ⸱ +300 views ⸱ 12 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 30m 00s
A sneak peek into the 2024 LeadDev Engineering Management report: how the role is changing and what these changes mean for the industry at large.
"Modularizing the Monolith - Jimmy Bogard - NDC Oslo 2024" ⸱ +6k views ⸱ 11 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 56m 44s
(…) Enter the modular monolith, an architecture that preserves the beneficial aspects of a single application and the advantages of isolated areas of data and behavior. In this talk, we'll look at the various patterns of modularizing a monolith. We'll answer such questions as "what even is a Module?", how to draw module boundaries, and evolutionary design techniques to migrate an existing monolith. Finally, we'll look at techniques to extract modules into services, giving the best possible chance for a microservice architecture to thrive.
"Design more decoupled services with one weird trick - Udi Dahan - NDC Oslo 2024" ⸱ +5k views ⸱ 12 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 58m 25s
Developers have been trying to build more decoupled systems for years, but the same challenge keeps popping up: how much data do you pass between things, whether via an API or through events? Lots of parameters means lots of coupling. Passing over just an identifier means the receiver needs to look up the data it needs, essentially sweeping that coupling under the rug and pretending it isn't there anymore. Join Udi to see the "one weird trick" that rotates the design space enabling services to be so much more decoupled, each encapsulating their data that much more completely. You won't believe what happens next!
"Building Software Better: API Lifecycle Management for Developers • Erik Wilde • GOTO 2024" ⸱ +1k views ⸱ 12 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 48m 46s
Most software, developed today, exposes an API. It's important to manage the full lifecycle of these APIs so that they can be consumed safely and robustly. A second important aspect is how developers can use their own APIs and their descriptions to drive their development process. To explore this further, we'll take a look at API descriptions in general as well as at OpenAPI in particular. We'll then look at how lifecycle management, both for consumers and producers, can be supported by using API descriptions and associated tooling. (…)
