Autowired annotation from Spring Framework is a wonderful thing. It makes a development of complex applications pretty easy, objects appear in your class automagically! You just splat an annotation on a field and voila! Magic happens. But it’s not a magic bullet that you should plug in everywhere.
Some time ago I wrote about Ports and Adapters architecture, where domain logic is completely separated from infrastructure logic, like database connection, rest controllers, clients etc. It’s is great if you have external dependencies and you want to just test your domain logic without the need for low-level mocking of dependencies. But what if you have a single codebase, a monolith app? Is it useful here? The TL;DR answer is… YES. Here’s why.
Another week has come to a pass and unfortunately, I did not manage to work on a project at all – again. But I have some ideas that may push the progress a bit forward. As I have been on conference week ago I heard some new buzzwords, saw few interesting technologies and architecture patterns so it would be good to test them out. I’m thinking about using Consumer-Driven Contracts for designing REST API for Commutee, but it is still far from that stage of the project. For now, let’s try Hexagonal architecture! The ports and adapters approach. I will probably overengineer it, but hell, better here than in production 🙂
The 2017 4Developers Festival has come to a pass and it was awesome! For me, this is the obligatory conference that I plan to attend every year from now on. I have been on total o 7 hours of lectures and 2 hours of discussion. All of this time was worth it. Only one lecture of these was a bit weaker, but it still was really informative!
Oh, and you can get cool cups there too 😉
Here’s a quick summary of the most interesting things for me.
