A Clean, Pragmatic Architecture

The architecture of your application should help you simplify the most complex parts of your logic. Any other goal of your architecture should be secondary to this. The problem is that you don’t always know where the complexity of your application will pile-up, especially when confronted with ever-changing requirements. The only way to keep your code simple is to gradually evolve the architecture without adding useless complexity up front, but always looking out for opportunities to break-down and refactor towards the most simple design that solves the problem. Drawing concepts from the Domain-Driven Development mindset, this talk summarizes the most important lessons learned designing and consulting many real-world projects. Along the way, you’ll hear about Value Objects and Entities, DTOs, Dependency Inversion Principle, Facades, the Onion Architecture and many pragmatic tips and tricks immediately applicable to your day-to-day work.
